The 12' or 15' carpet rolls and construction waste sometimes rise above the edge of the container. I'll check out the skid steer loader option, but I'm not sure we have the capacity to purchase and keep it. Thank you for bringing to my attention the concern about using the forklift to compact the waste. Currently, we are just using one pallet to smooth out the on the dumpster instead of physically shifting the material on top of the container. If we limit the use of the forklift to shifting the debris which we dump with the lift into the container, it seems like it may be a good idea that additional weight by using several pallets on the forks would help keep the forks from any significant upward pressure. Based upon your comments, I'm thinking that it might be best to put the forks in the bottom rather the top of a 3 pallet assembly that can be used to shift and level out the 12' carpet rolls and construction debris on top of the dumpster. I'm looking forward to getting any other possible suggestions

The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
