Many property owners have scrap metal lying around from fences, old cars, and machinery. Don’t let these eyesores sit on your land! Renting roll-off boxes is easier than dropping off the metals at a recycling plant. Here are four benefits of using this portable disposal method.

Why Should You Use a Roll-Off Box?

1. Portable

Don’t worry about using a trailer or renting a box truck to get scrap metal off your property. Roll-off boxes are portable, and you can place them right next to a construction project or on a driveway for easy access. 

2. Useful

People often put off cleaning up scrap metal because they’re not sure where to take it, how to move it, and whether they need to sort the pieces by metal types. These questions may keep you from doing anything about the items, leaving them to clutter up the garage or barn, or rust and corrode outdoors. Clean your property by using roll-off boxes to quickly pile up metal components and have them hauled away with no need to sort or transport.

3. Preventative 

Metal pieces like old tractors or broken-down cars can quickly become safety hazards if kids try to play in them. As these items break down with weather exposure and time, they may become landscaping hazards by leaving smaller pieces that you could run over with the lawnmower. If pieces are rusting away on your property, then the rust could potentially contaminate the groundwater making it discolored and taste unpleasant. 

4. Cost-Efficient 

Many scrap metal recycling companies will provide roll-off boxes for free if you fill them with metal materials. These containers offer the perfect solution for dismantling an old greenhouse, redoing a metal-sided barn, or any other project that involves a lot of metal waste.
