In a general sense, the right waste removal company for any project is the one that will do the best job. According to Chris Darling of A Track-Out Solution, one provider of garbage dumpster rental in Las Vegas, there are a number of questions to ask before hiring a waste removal company, but price shouldn't be your primary consideration.
Should you go for the lowest price when choosing a waste removal company for your project? In my experience, there really isn't much difference from one Las Vegas waste removal company to another. Instead, you should simply consider whether a particular company is equipped and prepared to meet your needs, and whether or not its philosophy is consistent with your goals for the project.
Timeliness
First of all, one of a waste removal company's most important tasks is simply to get the job done on time. This becomes particularly important on a construction or demolition site where delays can become quite costly for everyone involved. No one wants to have to wait for a new garbage dumpster to arrive before work can go on. At our company, we understand that our responsiveness and timeliness is an important part of keeping a project moving.
Basic Recycling
In addition, a company's commitment to environmental responsibility should also be a major factor in any decision to hire it. At our company, we take our role in protecting the local environment very seriously. We're committed to recycling or re-using as much waste product as possible. When handling construction or demolition waste, we take care to ensure that wood waste, scrap metal, plastics, cardboard, concrete and other recyclable materials are kept out of landfills.
We boast the largest concrete washout recycler in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas, and handling concrete waste is actually one of our specialties. Because the water used to wash out concrete equipment is potentially harmful to the environment, construction sites are required to employ special techniques to ensure that washout wastewater does not enter the local water supply. Our company provides specially-designed, watertight bins to capture the wastewater and remove it from the job site so that it cannot make its way into nearby soil or storm drains. The washout system has the added benefit of capturing concrete waste for recycling.
Green Building Standards
On top of basic recycling and pollution prevention measures, certain projects require particularly careful handling with regard to environmental issues, and some waste removal companies are simply not up to the task. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) projects are governed by green building standards and require extra efforts from every contractor involved. Our company's work on one such project, CityCenter in Las Vegas (one of the largest green building projects in the world), resulted in the recycling of nearly 100,000 tons of concrete waste. A Track-Out Solution is also authorized to file reports with the U.S. Green Building Council stating that projects are in compliance with LEED standards.
A Track-Out Solution also offers an extra benefit the fact that the company is owned by a woman, Jill Tucker. Some projects require a minority-owned contractor on the job site. This is a common requirement in projects funded by the state or county.
In short, timely, effective and efficient removal of waste from the job site is a critical element in any construction project's success. In Las Vegas, A Track-Out Solution is an excellent choice. We know what we're doing, and we do our job well. There's no better reason to hire someone than that.
