Don’t know how common this is, but I thought it was an interesting idea. I saw this the other day when we were working on gutting a basement. (This is the company I work for)
If nothing else, it looks better ‘n most dumpsters I see sitting at jobsites.

Pretty cool idea. Are they magnetic or permanent?
The logo and everything is painted on.
If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?
Of course then you've got to own your own dumpster. Might make sense to get a magnetic sign made up you could use on the rented unit (but be sure to take it off before they collect the thing).

Guess it depends on how much you use them.Company I was working for had the dumpster company offer to make up some dumpsters with the company name. They would own and place them. We would fill themthat way all of the neighbors would know who to thank when they snuck their #### into them

So they own their own? Cool. It is a real good idea.
A local high end contractor here put their mag. sign on a container in the front yard of a home, near the road (short drive).
The week or so b/4 Christmas they put Christmas lights on it.
Pulled and dumped day b/4 Christmas eve.

I like the Christmas lights idea.
Actual size *doesn't* matter. It's how big you can convince her it is that matters.
we have a constuction company with a fleet of dump trucks, at last count I think 40. He runs other people advertizemnet on the side of the dump bed. Like Joes BBQ or Jill tax service. they say everything. They run around the town all day
That's good marketing.
I like the lights... have a porta-potty right on the street at one of my jobs, maybe I should put lights on it?

I think I've seen that.

They call themselves the "can-do" contractors. Hmm... for some reason, that sounds so familiar.
No doubt about it though. A clean roll-off with the company name speaks very well of them.

So - Did they steal the "can do" thing from you, or was it the other way around?(-:
