I hear people asking all the time... Should I get a CRM? Whats the right number of cans to have before I get one? Is it worth it when I only have 3 dumpsters? Which program to use? Today we answer those questions. A CRM can be a highly valuable tool, but it could also be a big waste of money if you're not able to use it to it's potential.

Just curious — do you guys handle your own vinyl lettering, or do you take it to a vinyl shop? 🤔 And what about wraps — do you have a pro do it, or produce it yourself? I’ve seen wraps around here going for about $5K, and even lettering’s not cheap 💸. I’ve used StickerMule and Lettering.com to help my son out before, but it still added up fast. So I’m wondering — did you buy your own vinyl machine and start doing it in-house, or do you outsource everything? I’ve seen one local guy who clearly used stencils and spray paint — quick, sure, but it looks… well, cheap 🫠. I know it’s “just a dumpster,” but branding matters — that two-tone look or clean logo really helps you stand out from the pack 🟡🔴. I really like the job Joe did with his dumpsters — that raccoon logo is a nice touch 🦝👏. There’s also a guy in Josh’s network (forget his name) who’s got a rhino logo — I think his company’s called Rhino Solutions — and it really works. Makes me think I might need to come up with a mascot myself. 🦏💡 I want to make it simple, memorable, and not too busy — something that sticks without looking cluttered. Any suggestions for a mascot or logo concept for Pro Dumpster Rentals? I’m open to creative ideas that still look professional and tough. Also, John at Same Day Dumpsters out in Salt Lake City has a great setup — mixing orange, baby blue, and white trucks. It’s clean, fresh, and stands out without looking overdone. 🎨🚛 Even the big dogs like Republic and Waste Management keep it simple with one centered logo — but since every dumpster’s a rolling billboard, I still want something that pops without breaking the bank 💥. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I’m chasing that sweet spot between cost and brand impact. Anyone else wrestle with the same decision? 🙏

Question for the group! Customer books a 7-day rental. Fills it up early and needs another. How are you handling these?

I know this topic has been covered before, but I thought I would share my personal perspective and noticeable differences we have felt by changing the color and branding. •Sorry this went longer than I expected. I’m sure like most we didn’t know anything about the dumpster business before jumping in. We were lucky enough to get ahold of a lightly used trailer and 5 dumpsters that were all black. Not giving it a thought we placed our freshly made logo on them. Quickly identifying that that wasn’t enough. Our logo design doesn’t have our contact info so we added block letters saying Rent Me and our phone number. We thought it was great. We heard people saying that they saw us but most of them already knew us. We kept adding a few more dumpsters and slowly getting them lettered up to look the same just keeping them moving was our focus. We all are very proud of what we’ve achieved no matter what our size is. We normally don’t look at ourselves from the outside looking in but we know what is seen from our accountability mirror right. I found myself thinking that it’s not too dirty, it’s just a little bit of rust. I know I’m not the only one. Historically thinking, did any one of us ever think we would say out loud “man that’s a good looking dumpster” Nope! But I bet you have now. 😂 influencers like @Joseph Maxey keep stepping up and pushing their branding over the top and looking damn good as they do I must say. I had an opportunity to do just that for Freedom Dumpsters Va this year. We were facing a total overhaul and I couldn’t see a better time to do so. We did a color change and a logo overhaul without changing the logo. Our yard location hasn’t changed but our dumpsters went from black to blue and we incorporated what we call the bullet on the front leading edge of each side. The new blue pops and the white background makes our logo stand out proud. After a very nerve-racking period getting through the change I don’t regret anything. Don’t be afraid to paint your top rails or make your dumpsters two tone. Stand out in the sea of other dumpsters. Little things really do make a difference.

Welcome to THE DUMPSTER RUNNERS NETWORK! Please introduce yourselves and tell us your company name and where you're from. We are going to be taking a deep dive into the world of dumpster. Talking about equipment, marketing, networking, community building, and so much more. We welcome everyone from rookie to master. From aspiring entrepreneur to seasoned veteran of their trade. I hope all of you can take a moment and introduce yourselves. Once that is out of the way we can dive into the wins or pain points each of us is going through. You never know who might be right down the road from you. They can become a GREAT back up resource if your equipment goes down or you're overloaded with work, and if not - maybe you just make a new friend to chat with who shares a similar interest! Make SURE you check out the MAP tab at the top. It will show you roughly where each member is located. It says that it it shows each person as 10 miles off roughly, but I have noticed some people much farther off then I believe they should be. We'll have to check that out and see how it performs over time. FANTASTIC feature for seeing who is close to you though. UTILIZE IT!
