Trash Service with a Smile!
Front-End Pick Up Enclosure Sizing and Requirements
Dumpster enclosures - often called "corals" - are not the most attractive structures. It's understandable that if you own a coral, you want it to be as small and inconspicuous as possible. If you are constructing a coral, there are a few requirements to keep in mind: 

Enclosure Requirements

  • The gate must open beyond 90 degrees to allow the mirrors on the truck to pass (see top arrow).
     
  • Gates also require a "drop bar" mechanism to hold door open and away from truck (see second arrow). Without such a device, the wind can blow the gates closed in people attempting to load the dumpster. It can also lead to truck and/or garbage corral gate damage.

Please note truck is wider than dumpster.
