My dumpsters are pink with gray logos. And a gray strip. Very unique for my area and a couple of customers have noted that the color caught their eye and that’s what drove them to the website!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Some of those ideas were exactly what I've been worried about. The color, details and branding are extremely crucial in my opinion for a startup company. I'm from Saudi Arabia and currently we're studying this matter as we're about to order our first dumbsters shipment within 3 weeks. New sub & like 👍🏻
Great to see you putting out content again. Missed your input! I'm surprised that no one in my area is using Orange for some reason. They're all black or blue or green and so I'm having my new cans that are being built colour matched to the same safety orange.
I agree with the green however i have Kawasaki Green. Stands out much better than the standard lime green or dark green you see a lot. Having a logo / branding is vital. Great video
Great point about the long term implications of where the color might be down the road with fading. I’m also curious about the lifetime of a dumpster under “normal” wear and tear. 10, 20, even 30 years for a life cycle? 🤷♂️ I wonder what that looks like for most people around the country. Rusting/corrosion, maintenance, repairs, potential abuse/damage by customers? 20 years sounds like a good average amount of time as long as things have been maintained reasonably. I guess now I’m curious what it looks like for multigenerational companies out there. Is there a lifecycle guideline they follow like ex: 5 years (touch up welds, new graphics) 10 years (repaint) 15 years (new floor or wheels)… Then whether it’s 20 or more years, if it’s beat to death or “totaled” like a vehicle, do people just scrap it? Use it as a yard bin for scrap metal(not fit for public use), stuff like that. Maybe even rent it out for pennys on the dollar, only charge a dump fee for a local charity and essentially give them the dumpster and leave it there permanently for them but use it as a write off(take off decals so not a bad look) Just throwing ideas out. Great video!
Some of my oldest dumpsters are about 15 years old and we have been repainting them slowly but they are still functional...maybe 30 years...THe more dumpsters you have the harder this gets to keep up with. Most companies either sell them, keep them for busy times, leave them on a commercial site, or repaint them....

That's great 👍. We are going with pink. Don't have any equipment yet.
It will stand out!
Good stuff as always buddy!

I am happy to be back! The orange sounds like a great color for you! Make sure they are branded!

The branding is by far the most important part!
I sent you an email.
I don't like pink. But, you do have a point. In my area, there are NO pink dumpsters.
We have pink in Southern TN
I’m working on a bright pink set of cans now
That is awesome! I think it is a great color and will help you stand out!
Justin or you can match the franchise colors in your area so you don't get in trouble just my thoughts 😂. They just blend in.
LMAO! if there is a franchise agreement in your city you might as well be well branded when you go to court!!! lol

There’s a few companies in NJ with pink dumpsters.
I bet they really stand out!
Absolutely 👍 branding is everything have touch up paint to keep them looking good. I wouldn’t want a rusty ugly bent up bin in my driveway.
Even though the dumpster business can be dirty we can keep things looking clean!
