At Bin Bandits, we use dunnage with every bin drop off. But, why is dunnage so important? First, it reduces the bin’s impact on your landscaping. Second, it helps ensure rainwater does not collect in or fill your bin using precious volume or adding unnecessary weight.

How does having dunnage protect your landscaping? We lay rubber mats beneath the bin’s rollers. This helps protect your yard or driveway from unnecessary scraping or distress. It also helps distribute the weight of the bin a little more evenly to reduce pressure points.

How does dunnage help the bin drain? We use lumber beams to help ensure your bin is levelled with the slightest slant, encouraging water to drain out and away from the bin.

We take every care we can to protect your yard and landscaping from damage or signs of bin placement. Dunnage before we drop is one of the ways we do this.

Disclaimer: Any dunnage or bins set up on grass or turf will reduce sun and oxygen flow to the grass — resulting in a yellowed or brownish patch. In cases where a bin is left on grass long term, the damage to the turf can be permanent.
