In fact we were all so excited about it that David went out and made a quick feature video to document the occasion.

Nice dumpster. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it during the Challenge

Oh wait, the Hongs aren't coming are they?

Nevermind

You may be excited about your dumpster, but I designed and drafted prints for several different sizes back in the day, when Roll-Off contracted us to make them some. When I first saw "my" dumpsters in the wild, I got REALLY excited to see a dumpster.

A lot more goes into them than you might think. Margins are paper thin, our only advantage was being ~5 miles from Roll-Off, instead of ~450 miles away from where they had been buying them, so they just came and got them, no freight/shipping cost.

We never intended to get into the dumpster business, just happened to win a random bid, we bid on all kinds of stuff when things were slow. Turns out, the company I worked for's name, was very similar to "legit" dumpster manufacturer, as in, all they make is dumpsters and accessories. I've never been so thankful to see a cease and desist letter, we were abruptly out of the dumpster business.

Our dumpster manufacturing days may have been a short ~6 months, but I can proudly say, there are some Lee designed dumpsters still randomly dispersed around Northwest Arkansas.

Only 2 cu yards? Weak-sauce.

It seems to me that a large, unlock dumpster on a major street, leading to a residential side street will get lots of unintended dumping.

I predict that every Monday morning it is over loaded with mattresses and other over sized residential cast offs

Some sort of lock may be wise.

British Racing Green, more of a Classic Motorsports Dumpster I would say.

Captain Planet is disappointed that you didn't recycle your cardboard.

And alligators, of course.

We've had that size in that location for years, and never really had an issue. Then again, we don't make /that/ much trash, either.

Being right beside the road, you will be getting all kinds of unwanted trash.

That Gildan box was the transport for this years challenge shirts, wasn't it?

I went out of my way a couple years ago to get a cardboard dumpster; it was going to cost me a little more but it's good for everyone, right? Wrong. The same truck picks them both up at the same time every Friday morning. So I get to pay more for nothing. Argggh

Oh yeah, nice dumpster.
