What We Build
We design and build dumpster enclosures and trash enclosures tailored to your site and number of dumpsters. Options include:
- CMU block dumpster enclosures — Durable concrete block walls that withstand weather and impact. Ideal for commercial and high-traffic areas.
- Screen walls / privacy walls — Lighter screening where full block isn’t required, still hiding the waste area from view.
- Single, double, and multi-dumpster layouts — One dumpster, two side-by-side, or several in a shared corral with common walls.
- Enclosure gates and doors — Gates or doors so haulers can access dumpsters; we’ll size and specify based on your layout and truck access.
- Decorative finishes — Stucco and paint so the enclosure matches or complements your building. Colors and texture can be chosen to fit your property.
Who Uses Dumpster Enclosures
Dumpster enclosures and dumpster corrals are used by a wide range of properties across Southwest Florida:
- Restaurants and retail plazas — To hide dumpsters from parking and storefronts and keep the service area organized.
- Multi-family and apartments — Centralized trash areas that are screened and easier to maintain.
- HOAs and gated communities — Common-area dumpster or trash enclosures that meet community standards.
- Commercial facilities — Offices, medical, and industrial sites that need a clean curb and contained waste zone.
- Property managers — One point of contact for enclosures across one or multiple properties.
Benefits of a Dumpster Enclosure
A well-built dumpster enclosure or trash enclosure improves how your property looks and functions. The waste area is hidden from street view and from tenants and customers, which improves curb appeal. A contained corral keeps dumpsters in one place and can reduce litter and wind-blown debris. For HOAs and managed communities, a dumpster enclosure can help the property meet design and maintenance standards that residents and boards expect.
- Cleaner curb appeal — dumpsters are screened from view.
- More organized service area — one defined zone for waste and haulers.
- Better alignment with HOA or property standards — enclosed areas are easier to maintain and often preferred by associations.
Design and Planning Considerations
When we plan a dumpster enclosure, we consider access for waste trucks (turn radius, gate width, and approach), drainage so water doesn’t pool inside the corral, and a slab or base that supports the enclosure and trucks. In Florida we build for sun and rain; CMU and proper finishes hold up to moisture and UV. In coastal or wind-prone areas we take wind load into account so walls and gates are secure. We’ll walk through placement, size, and materials with you so the result fits your site and budget.
Our Process
- Quick consult and measurements. You tell us the location and number of dumpsters; we may ask for a site visit to measure and confirm access.
- Layout recommendation and quote. We propose an enclosure layout (single, double, or multi-dumpster) and send a written quote.
- Permitting coordination if required. We can coordinate with permitting when your jurisdiction requires it.
- Build schedule and communication. We schedule the build and keep you updated so you know when we’ll be on site.
- Final walkthrough. We walk through the finished enclosure with you and answer any questions about care and access.
