The dumpster that couldn’t.

I reported that it took three guys, two dumpsters, and two days to demolish a garage. I erred. It takes three dumpsters. When the truck arrived to haul away the second dumpster, its lift was unable to load it onto the trailer. Thirty cubic yards of construction debris is the normal payload, but in this case, it was the pulverized remnants of the concrete garage floor. The truck’s concentrated hydraulic force was no match for gravity.

A second dumpster was delivered, and the load was split between the two containers. (Someone’s job involved picking up concrete boulders from one, and hurling them over the dumpster sidewalls to the other). Both dumpsters are now gone, from which I infer that the load was successfully split.

Now that the driveway is free of dumpsters, the excavators will now have space to deposit the dirt they excavate. If only they knew where to dig.
