Keeping People Away From My Dumpster

I own a small microbrewery.  Even though it is small, I have tons of garbage.  Literally tons of used grains.  I have to rent a dumpster because I have so much trash.  Even though I keep it behind the building, people use it all of the time.  And I’m not talking about a stray wrapper or lone napkin.  People actually throw their bags of garbage away in it.  It really makes me crazy.  My wife thinks that I make too big a deal of it but I just don’t want people using my dumpster.  First of all, I pay for it.  If they need one, they can pay for their own.  Second, I don’t like not knowing what people are throwing away in it.  People could be throwing away dangerous chemicals or who knows what.  Finally, it really makes me nervous that people seems to be coming to the back of my building with some frequency.  It’s dark back there and there is really no reason for anyone to go back there.  I don’t relish the idea of leaving my brewery one night and running into someone who snuck back there to through away their garbage. 

I got temporary fencing to put around the dumpster.  I figured that it will at least make it a little more difficult for people to drag their garbage back there.  It’s convenient too because it’s made up of temporary fencing panels so I can take it down pretty quickly for garbage pickup.
