In Kern County, deciding on concrete dumpster means deciding on dense single-material loads that need a low-side box with a marked fill line first. Find out if a locking lid or gate is available for a container that will sit on the property overnight in a neighborhood with foot traffic. Ask any Kern County hauler and they will tell you the same thing: the load only earns the recycling rate while it stays one material. Contamination costs the whole saving.
