Crew Rules That Prevent Overage

Free 2-minute lesson: five crew rules — posted at the bin — that stop overage charges, contaminated loads, and stalled swaps on your jobsite.

The Big Takeaway
Overage is a training problem, not a dumpster problem. Post five rules at the bin — what's banned, heavy-stuff protocol, level-load, no moonlight dumping, one swap-caller — and the surprise charges stop.

Every overage charge and rejected load traces back to a decision someone made at the rim of the bin. Give the crew five rules and those decisions start going your way. Print this, tape it to the bin.

Rule 1: the banned list is absolute

No hazardous waste, tires, batteries, paint, chemicals, propane, freon appliances, wet concrete. One propane tank found at the landfill can cost more than the rental. New guy on the crew? This rule is his first-day briefing.

Rule 2: heavy material gets called in first

Tile, concrete, mortar bags, dirt, sod — nobody loads dense material without the foreman's OK. Dense loads are where $90/ton overage lives. Sometimes the right answer is a dedicated heavy load or waiting for KYN's 10-yard heavy-duty unit (October 2026); that's a foreman call, not a laborer's.

Rule 3: level load, always

Nothing above the rim, weight spread front to back. A bin the truck can't legally haul stalls the swap, and the crew ends up unloading its own work. Load flat, break down bulky items, fill corners first.

Rule 4: the bin is for THIS job

An open bin attracts freeloaders — a passing landscaper's palm fronds, a neighbor's mattress at midnight. Their weight is your overage. Park the bin inside the fence where you can, gate closed at night on visible sites, and make the crew feel ownership: anything that appears mysteriously gets reported, not shrugged at.

Rule 5: one person owns the swap call

When "someone should call the swap in" is everyone's job, it's nobody's. Name the caller (foreman, usually). Trigger: 75% full → text KYN at (561) 878-1535. That single assignment ends the full-bin-Monday-morning stall.

That's the track. Pass the quiz to finish — then put the rules to work: contractor rentals, contractor playbook, book a bin.
