Need Dumpsters Used or New

The bottoms on dumpsters rust out before it is total garbage. The company we work for usually puts 2-3 bottoms on the dumpsters before they go to the scrap yard. Not all garbage companies fix the bottoms of their dumpsters. You could try to go to a local garbage company and talk to them. They might have some old dumpsters with rusty bottoms on them. It doesn't take much to put a new bottom in. Im sure they would also tell you where they buy thier new dumpsters. I know when people come in and ask us about this we help them out or point them into the right direction.

This summer I might try to make my own dumpster, to see if the cost/time is worth it. I've just started welding and thought it would be fun. There is always need for a company that makes/repairs dumpsters.

If you do buy a new dumpster. It would be worth it to coat the bottom and up the sides about 4" with something to keep it from rusting out. We use a special thick grease, but some sort of bed liner or what not would work to keep the bottom from rusting out. If you keep them indoors you probably wouldn't need to do this. The factory paint that they used on the inside does not last too long.
