Dumpster Pads
HEAVY-DUTY CONCRETE DUMPSTER PADS
Dumpster pads must withstand the concentrated wheel loads of garbage trucks and the impact of heavy containers being dropped. We pour dumpster pads at 6-8 inch thickness with heavy rebar reinforcement, thickened edges, and proper drainage slope. Pads are sized to accommodate the container plus truck access and include bollard sleeves for protection posts where needed. All dumpster pads meet health department and waste hauler specifications.
Starting at $2000 per pad

Why Choose Our Dumpster Pads

We pour dumpster pads at 6-8 inches with heavy rebar reinforcement and thickened edges, sized to accommodate the dumpster plus truck access. Every pad meets health department and waste hauler specifications.

FAQs About Dumpster Pads
Does a dumpster pad need bollards?
Bollards (concrete-filled steel posts) are recommended around dumpster pads to protect adjacent buildings, fences, and landscaping from container impacts. Many property managers require them. We install bollard sleeves in the pad during pour for later bollard installation.
