Labels for Roll Off Containers (Dumpsters)

TrackAbout Recommends

TrackAbout has evaluated several label types, sizes and formats for use on Roll Off Containers. We've condensed our best practices into a set of recommendations for the label to use and how to use them.

Best Practices

• 2 barcodes on each roll-off container
• Place them near where a user is likely to be standing when picking up or dropping off.
• Place them in the same location on every container.
• Wipe the surface clean before attaching labels to a container

Label Sizes

We're recommending a 2.680 X 3.480 label. They have an excellent adhesive and will stand up to outdoor use for many years.

	Large labels
Labels per container	2
Cost per container	$1.00
Cost per roll	100 numbers for $100
Scanning distance (Using an iPhone 7 during the day)	4-5 feet
Advantages	Can scan from further away More visible from a distance More adhesive to stick to the container
