Do I Need Dumpster Enclosures in Kansas?
Dumpster enclosures typically rank high among the finishing touches property owners think of when completing their commercial enterprise. Having a designated place to dispose of garbage contributes to cleanliness and creates not only a sanitary environment. It also creates a more professional presentation. (After all, who’s going to step into—let alone give their business to—a company whose headquarters is strewn with litter?) But whereas installing dumpsters might seem like a no-brainer, setting up dumpster enclosures is a consideration not everyone necessarily thinks of—even though it has the potential to improve workflow and save your company from painful local government fines!
Yes, that’s right. Depending on where you live, civil codes might require you to obscure your dumpsters from public view. Also, be aware that sometimes community laws change regarding this matter. Local ordinances might not require dumpster enclosures today, but that doesn’t mean the laws won’t change in the near future. For example, the city of Bonner Springs didn’t require local businesses to install dumpster enclosures until 2015.
Why should I get a trash enclosure in Kansas?
Believe it or not, trash enclosures also help improve productivity. Having a physical barrier surrounding your dumpster shields it from wind threatening to blow unsanitary content across your parking lot (remember the importance of having a good presentation). Imagine the precious time wasted—and the valuable work hours lost—if your employees spend every morning tidying up rather than jumping straight into their assigned duties. Cleaning up the lot doesn’t move the needle on company projects whatsoever!
Without a dumpster enclosure, employees might also be wasting valuable time cleaning up messes caused by animals. Stray cats and raccoons perpetually search for an easy meal, and an unprotected dumpster—loaded with half-eaten meals and candy wrappers still carrying the scent of sugar—serve as an open banquet. If you live near wooded areas, bears might occasionally frequent your trash, and there’s no telling how destructively messy they’ll become rooting around. This is yet another area wherein dumpster enclosures become useful. By surrounding all four sides of your receptacles with walls, you’ll help seal off access to wild animals.
And let’s not forget about human intruders. Vandals who just enjoy messing up other people’s property. Having a tall barrier with a locked gate will help keep them out, too!
