Complete Your Paving Project With Dumpster Pad Construction

For commercial property owners and managers, the area surrounding your waste receptacles takes an incredible amount of abuse. The immense weight of sanitation trucks, combined with the heavy metal dumpsters themselves, can quickly destroy standard pavement.

At ACT Asphalt Specialties, we bring over 40 years of commercial paving experience to your property. We believe in educating our clients on the best long-term solutions, which is why we highly recommend specially constructed concrete dumpster pads to prevent premature structural failure and keep your property looking neat, clean, and professional.

Dumpster Pads

Why Property Owners Need Concrete Dumpster Pads

You need unmatched strength and protection for your parking lot. Concrete is a rigid pavement designed to handle concentrated, heavy loads that would otherwise cause asphalt to rut, sink, or crumble. Don't stop at a parking lot asphalt resurfacing. Expert dumpster pad construction is a vital investment for your commercial facility.

  • Supporting Heavy Sanitation Vehicles: Garbage trucks apply extreme pressure to a concentrated area when lifting and lowering heavy bins. Concrete dumpster pads provide the load-bearing strength necessary to prevent the surface from failing under this immense stress.
  • Protecting Against Spills and Leaks: Dumpster areas are highly prone to liquid leaks, grease, and chemical spills. While petroleum products and oils can soften and eat through an asphalt surface within hours, concrete offers a much more resilient barrier against these corrosive substances.
  • Seamless Integration with Asphalt Paving: Because we are experts in both asphalt and concrete, we can easily include concrete dumpster pads as part of a comprehensive asphalt parking lot paving project. We pour the concrete pads and coordinate the surrounding asphalt paving consecutively, ensuring a flawless transition between the two surfaces.

Common Questions About Concrete Dumpster Pads

Why can't I just use asphalt under my dumpsters?

Asphalt is a flexible pavement that relies on the subgrade for support. The extreme, concentrated weight of garbage trucks and the frequent spills of oils or corrosive liquids in waste areas will quickly deteriorate, soften, and sink asphalt surfaces. Concrete is a rigid material built to withstand these exact conditions.

Can you build a dumpster pad while repaving my parking lot?

Absolutely. Because we have specialized in-house crews for both materials, integrating dumpster pad construction into an asphalt parking lot paving project is one of our primary specialties. We coordinate the concrete pouring and asphalt paving consecutively to save you time.

How long does it take for a concrete dumpster pad to cure?

While you must stay off the new concrete for 24 hours, you must wait 7 to 10 days before allowing heavy truck traffic, such as sanitation vehicles, onto the pad to ensure it has gained its full structural strength.
