Maintain Dumpster Enclosures
MAINTAIN DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES
A task that is often overlooked and under appreciated is to maintain dumpster enclosures. As a property manager, this is not only for your own peace of mind, but it encourages your tenants to do their part with site upkeep. When dumpsters and enclosures are not consistently maintained they can accumulate all sorts of pollutants, including grease and chemicals, and attract rodents and pests.
A mutual agreement between management and tenant base, will help keep the condition of your dumpster enclosures clean and pollutant-free. The first step is making sure receptacles and their surrounding areas are kept as clean as possible, and encouraging your tenants to help with this effort.
When a property’s trash or recycling enclosure is a mess, along with the surrounding area , tenants are less likely to make an effort to get their waste into the proper area. Clearly identifying your receptacles listing what items can go into each particular receptacle is very beneficial. Including appropriate signage is another way to help encourage the overall cleanliness and ease of maintenance of all enclosures.
WHY MAINTAIN DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES
As the owner of a business, property or general space, you are responsible for the appearance and upkeep of the physical space and surrounding area. Even if you are renting these spaces to tenants, it is often still part of your responsibility to ensure the site is properly maintained. This includes the responsibility to maintain dumpster enclosures that may be on your property’s premises.
