Dumpster Rental in Lorenzo, TX

Roll-off containers for Lorenzo homes and jobsites

Lorenzo is a small farming town out east on US-62/82, over the Lubbock County line into Crosby County, and it is about a forty-five minute run from our yard. It is cotton ground through and through — the gin is the busiest thing in town from October into December and the section roads around it carry module trucks all fall. The town is a few streets of modest mid-century brick and frame houses, a downtown that has thinned out the way small farm towns do, a school district people are loyal to, and a good deal of housing that has been in the same family for two or three generations. The work reflects that. We do estate and family clearances where a house is finally being sorted, hail roofs, and a steady run of shop, shed and barn cleanouts on the farms around town, which is where most of the volume actually is.

What we know about working in Lorenzo

Out here the practical constraints are the same ones every farm job has and they are worth saying plainly. Access is caliche or dirt, which carries a loaded truck fine when it is hard and ruts badly for a week after real rain. Septic systems and water wells are on nearly every rural property, so flag the lateral field and the well head and we will set well clear — a full container is heavy enough to matter. Burn bans are common in Crosby County, which means brush from a shelterbelt or fence line usually cannot be burned and the container is the legal route. And cotton harvest owns the roads from October through December, so we schedule deliveries and swaps early in the day through the fall rather than trying to thread the traffic at the gin.

Getting a truck to you

East on US-62/82 the whole way, about forty-five minutes from the yard. It is an easy highway run until the last mile, which is usually where the questions are — gate width, turnaround room, cattle guards and soft ground. Through harvest we plan around module truck traffic and gin queues by setting early in the day. Tell us who will be on site and where the gate key is, because nobody wants a truck sitting at a locked gate at seven in the morning.

Permits, streets and placement in Lorenzo

On a private driveway in Lorenzo you generally do not need a municipal permit. Placement in the public street or right-of-way is a different matter and normally requires approval — from the borough or township where the road is locally maintained, or from TxDOT where it is a state route. Every municipality in Crosby County runs its own form and its own lead time, and older streets here often have no off-street parking at all, so plan the permit before you plan the delivery. It is a ten-minute call that saves a week.

Our permit and placement guide walks through the whole process, and TCEQ publishes the Covered Device Recycling Act rules and the other statewide disposal restrictions that apply to every load we haul out of Lorenzo. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Lubbock County.
