Securing your dumpster: any tips?

[Bill Coleman]

My dumpster arrived a few days ago and i've had a few issues.

In Colorado, garbage services do not want to take construction waste or many other things that you would expect a garbage company to take. So people get tempted to throw that in a half full dumpster. So far I have not had that issue but it could easily happen.

The worst is that people are dumpster diving for metal. I am concerned about liability.

Lastly, a neighbor saw my framing contractor unload 4 trucks of construction waste into my empty 30 yard dumpster which is now 3/4 full. He is being talked to now.

Does anyone have any tips on how to discourage any or all of these practices?
