Starting a waste business can be overwhelming. From hiring to marketing, there鈥檚 a lot you need to consider to get your business off the ground. One thing that often goes overlooked and can save you a lot of stress and money in the long run is location.

No matter what city you鈥檙e planning to set up shop, waste is not confined to one area. You need to be able to travel across the city as conveniently as possible. A great way to ensure this happens is to set up shop near a major highway. If your business is streamlined, you can get more accomplished.

Benefits

Being located next to a freeway immensely helps with quicker response times and faster turnaround. Instead of driving long distances to a far-off landfill, waste dump, or transfer station, being near a major highway significantly shortens the distance. This will enable your drivers to complete their routes and unload quickly, allowing them to return to the road for their next pickup sooner. Plus, the easier it is to get to customers, the more time you save overall. This will enable you to assist more customers in a day, ultimately increasing your revenue.

It also helps with schedule flexibility. If there鈥檚 a last-minute cancellation, being next to a highway gives you the freedom to re-route efficiently back to home base or the next customer. When you鈥檙e located right off a major highway, it becomes a lot easier.

Locating your business near a highway also helps with fuel efficiency. Fuel costs are lower when the jobs are set up in order for maximum efficiency, hence adding to profitability. It also helps limit wear and tear on company vehicles.

Being located next to a major highway helps avoid residential traffic, congestion on smaller roads, and helps drivers stay on designated truck routes. Positioning waste facilities along major highways that are part of designated truck routes helps drivers avoid sensitive areas, such as schools or hospitals. This helps ensure public safety, protects air quality, and prevents damage to infrastructure.

Secondary Options

When it comes to choosing a location, a good secondary option is out of the way near a landfill. Americans produce more household waste per capita than any other country in the world. Being tucked away in one area isn鈥檛 going to do your business any good. You need to be at a second location you鈥檙e constantly utilizing.

If a landfill isn鈥檛 an option, being near a transfer station poses the same benefits. If you鈥檙e not already, it鈥檚 a good idea to establish an account with them. They add convenience by allowing you to drop off your waste in between jobs and charge at the end of the month for the amount of trash dumped.

Older neighborhoods can also be a good option because they tend to be centrally located. Older areas are also full of potential customers because they tend to attract home remodelers in need of dumpster services.

Finding the location

It鈥檚 a good idea to look into areas that are getting ready to grow and expand. It鈥檚 usually cheaper and poses the potential for more freeways to be built through the area. Nobody has a crystal ball to tell you exactly how or when it鈥檚 going to grow. Still, you can look for indicators like population increase, more infrastructure projects, and business developments.

Try to avoid areas with neighborhoods that enforce strict HOAs. They have lots of zoning regulations and can have rigorous rules regarding dumpster placement, making it unlikely to receive clientele.

Choosing a location for dumpster services can be challenging. It requires a lot of thought, time, and research. However, if you base your research on convenience and efficiency, you鈥檙e bound to end up with a location just right for your business.
