General Corrugated cardboard is collected via frontloader dumpsters and frontloader trucks and hauled directly to market.

Service
• Frontloader dumpsters are easy and quick to service and easily relocated.
• Dumpsters range in sizes from one to eight cubic yards and are generally placed next to the black garbage dumpsters.

• PSSI can service these dumpsters up to five times per week, Monday through Friday.
• The least expensive service is called a drive-at where the garbage truck lines up with the dumpster and empties it without moving the box by hand.
• A more expensive option is to have a dismount service, where the driver moves the dumpster by hand into the correct position, empties the bin, and then pushes it by hand back to its original location.
• The cardboard dumpsters on campus are painted green.

Specifications
• The dimensions can vary on these dumpsters. They tend to be taller and have wheels so they can be placed sideways.
• No matter the size, they will be at least six feet wide and need two feet on each side for clearance.
• Only dumpsters four cubic yards and smaller can have dismount service. All dumpsters five cubic yards and larger must have drive-at service.
• In order to service the dumpster, the truck needs 45 feet of access and should not have any overhead hazards (i.e. wires and tree branches).
• A concrete pad should be laid underneath all dumpster locations extending under the front wheels of the truck during the dumping process.
