Environmental conservation is an issue close to home for many. Discount Dumpster believes that nothing is more sacred than protecting the natural beauty of our planet. Therefore, they have partnered with the National Forest Foundation to ensure that our natural wonders are protected. Not only does Discount Dumpster want to protect the environment, but they also want to strengthen it. No one believes this more than Preston Dunn, co-founder of Discount Dumpster Rental.

“Nature is the lifeline of our world,” said Dunn. “Without it, we lose a key part of what makes living on this planet so special.” These convictions are shared across the company. Discount Dumpster’s partnership with the National Forest Foundation is a testament to this. The company is self-aware of the environmental footprints it leaves behind and actively seeks to curb the effects of this footprint.

Discount Dumpster strives to become a carbon neutral company. Therefore, its partnership with the National Forest Foundation is crucial. Estimates show that up to 40 pounds of CO2 are released into the atmosphere for every pound of trash disposed of. Many people can produce up to 2.2 pounds of waste per day, which goes to local landfills. Due to this, Discount Dumpster pledges to plant one tree in a national park for every dumpster sold.

Planting a tree for each dumpster sold does more than just combat CO2 emissions from waste, it helps offset emissions from hauling debris. Roll-off trucks can burn up to 20 gallons of diesel fuel every day, getting only 8 miles to the gallon. Planting a single tree can help offset the effects of these emissions. For every footprint Discount Dumpster creates, they work tirelessly to neutralize.

“Combating our own carbon footprint is the least we can do,” concluded Dunn. “We’re only one company, of course. But we have to start somewhere to improve our environment. If we don’t act now, then when? We want to lead by example, not go with the flow. It’s our example that we want to be known for. Even the smallest steps can lead to great outcomes. For us, we strive for the greatest outcome of any situation. This is no different in protecting our environment.”
