Adding a lock to your commercial dumpster prevents others from using it and ensures there is plenty of room for your waste when you need to take out the trash. Businesses sometimes encounter what is called “Fly Dumping”, where people sneak in and dump their waste inside the company’s waste container. This illegal practice quickly fills up the container with unwanted waste, leaving no room for the business’ actual waste. Locks and lock bars can eliminate unauthorized use of your business dumpster.
