Dumpster Fires are becoming more common in Areas Such As Lansing MI

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 05, 2012 ) Lansing, MI Â–Dumpster fires are becoming a big headache for dumpster companies. These fires can be caused from combustion of hazardous materials or from vandalism. When a dumpster catches on fire not only can the contents of the dumpster be consumed, but the fire may also spread to homes, garages and businesses.

One local company, Lansing Dumpster Rentals, is offering advice to residents concerning dumpster fires. When a homeowner or business owner has a dumpster placed on their property, safety should always be of concern. Placing the dumpster too close to to a building, such as, a house, garage or business could have disastrous consequences should the dumpster catch fire.

Lansing Dumpster Rentals offers a few preventative tips to residents and businesses.
To prevent someone from torching the contents inside of a dumpster, the Lansing Dumpster Man offers a couple of tips.
1. If the dumpster is located in a vandalism prone area, Lansing Dumpster Man suggests hosing down the flammable contents of the dumpster, this may offer some protection.
2. Placing a tarp on top to cover the open dumpster. This would prevent someone from throwing a lighted object into the contents and setting the dumpster on fire.

What about Spontaneous Combustion? Lansing Dumpster Man has a few tips for this too:
1. Do not put any flammable or petroleum based products in the dumpster. Oily rags, used oil or household lubricant should be disposed of properly. Old propane tanks and gas cans should not be placed in a dumpster.

2. If the container is full of combustible material like paper, carpeting, furniture, etc., the homeowner is advised not to smoke around the container. Homeowners having work done by contractors may also have to keep an eye out or remind workers to make sure no lit cigarettes are thrown into the dumpster.
3. Compost such as leaves and grass clippings can also become combustible in time. Compost as we know generates heat and if it gets hot enough the material could ignite. Landfills will usually have a separate location to store compost. Surprising to some, compost cannot be buried in a landfill, due to the heat that it generates.
