Why dense materials need low-side containers, how fill lines work and how to plan loads of concrete, brick, soil and rock.
Concrete, brick, block, asphalt, soil and rock are dense, so a small amount weighs a lot. That is why they go in low-side containers with a fill line. A ten-yard with short walls can be loaded safely with these materials, while a taller container would be easy to overload. Keeping heavy material in its own box also protects the truck, the driveway and the schedule.
Clean loads of a single material are often processed differently from mixed debris, so keep concrete, dirt and brick separate from trash when you can. Break slabs into manageable pieces, spread weight across the floor and never stack above the line. People in Nashville with big hardscape or excavation projects often plan several smaller containers and schedule swaps, which is usually safer than one large box.
