Commercial Concrete Dumpster Pads

Built to Withstand Heavy Loads and Daily Abuse

Dumpster areas take a beating. Between the weight of garbage trucks, constant loading and unloading, and exposure to chemicals and waste, these zones are some of the most stressed areas on your property. Total Paving & Brick Services installs heavy-duty commercial dumpster pads built to handle this wear without cracking, sinking, or failing—keeping your site clean, safe, and structurally sound.

What Is a Dumpster Pad?

A dumpster pad is a reinforced concrete surface specifically designed to support the weight and impact of commercial dumpsters and the trucks that service them. Unlike standard pavement, these pads are poured with a thicker concrete section, additional reinforcement, and stronger sub-base preparation to prevent failure from repeated heavy use.

They are typically installed adjacent to enclosures or fencing and include concrete aprons or approach ramps to protect surrounding pavement.

Why Choose Total Paving?

  • Engineered for Durability – Designed to withstand extreme weight and prevent rutting, cracking, or displacement

  • Proper Base Preparation – We excavate and compact a stable base that prevents shifting or settlement over time

  • Thickened Concrete Sections – Pads are poured to proper commercial thickness (typically 6″–8″+), with rebar or mesh reinforcement

  • Protect Adjacent Pavement – Prevents surrounding asphalt from degrading due to repeated dumpster loading

  • Clean, Professional Install – We finish pads neatly and integrate them with surrounding concrete or asphalt for a polished result

What’s Included in Our Dumpster Pad Installation

Each pad installation is tailored to your site layout, dumpster size, and waste service equipment. Our standard process includes:

  • Site evaluation to determine location, pad size, and thickness requirements
  • Excavation and base preparation with compacted aggregate
  • Installation of steel reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh)
  • Pouring and finishing of high-strength concrete
  • Integration with existing pavement or installation of new concrete aprons as needed

We also install bollards or curb guards upon request to protect fencing and structures from truck impact.
