    Those plastic lids can still be opened by determined dumpster divers. Had it happen just last night. Both lids were full open with the lock bar locked and still in place. The hobos just pull and pry on the plastic lid until it flexes out of the way of the bar. About a month ago a hobo jumped on the lid until it fell into the bin. I would mind dumpster divers if they didn't leave a mess, but they always leave a mess.

    These can help bear-proof the dumpster. When not locked, the bear can lift the lid (partially) and get inside. When locked, it is harder for them to get leverage between the dumpster and the lid. However, the plastic lids are not completely bear proof. A 300 lb black bear in our mountain neighborhood will climb on top and bounce/rock/pound until one of the lids collapses. If you have bears, get the dumpster with the steel lid.

    • @Mydisposal

    I worked at Homewood Disposal, it was hot 🥵 and very little pay 💰 and they make you work 6 days a week. I worked during Covid and they should have paid employees more since the place was so dirty and unhealthy. Big rats 🐀 walking around and dust everywhere. You definitely get a workout there they have you working 12 hours picking trash, and 1-2 hours extra mandatory overtime to cleanup. I worked from 3pm till 2am sometimes wouldn’t come home till like 4-5 in the morning and do it all again the next day. You can literally get a warning or a write up for grabbing garbage with one hand if you get tired after so many hours of working.

    • @Mydisposal
      @Mydisposal Рік тому

      The cardboard used for ice cream containers is special. It has a plastic coating so that the container can stand up to the moisture and the freezing. This plastic coating makes the cardboard difficult to break down during the recycling and pulp making process. (Nothing to do with the shape.)
