Dumpster placement
Place a roll-off or front-load at a Danville location and check for buildings, sidewalks, and power lines in the way.

Why I built it
When I ran waste operations, a site check could mean waiting days for a driver to be back in the area. A customer might say the dumpster fits without accounting for the truck’s approach or overhead wires the truck could hit while emptying it.
I built this map to help spot those problems before sending a driver out. Add as many roll-offs and front-loads as you need, then drag or rotate each one to see what’s in the way.
Sources and limitations
Aerial imagery
Loading the imagery source.
Zooming in enlarges the image without adding detail. Conditions on the ground may have changed since it was taken. The provider’s usage terms apply.
City GIS data
I copied the city GIS data on 2026-11-12. The map uses that copy, so it won’t show later changes.
What the checks mean
The map flags where a dumpster or its clearance areas overlap buildings and sidewalks. Touching edges count, and the checks include layers you’ve hidden.
The overhead-line check flags where mapped lines cross a dumpster or its clearance areas. This includes service drops. Wire heights have not been verified, and hazards missing from the data will not appear.
Street estimates
Street areas are estimated from road centerlines and nearby sidewalks that face the street. Without usable sidewalk data, the estimate extends 20′ on each side of the centerline. Streets marked as future or paper streets are left out.
Model and clearance assumptions
I measured the 30-yard model from my Dumpster models project and the 8-yard front-load with its lids and doors closed.
The truck approach areas extend straight out from the loading end: 45′ × 10′ for roll-offs and 50′ × 16′ for front-loads.
