Boards Protect Your Louisville Driveway

February 13, 2014/0 Comments/in Dumpsters/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Moon Mini Dumpsters is proud to be a local Louisville dumpster company. We work hard to build and maintain satisfied customers in Kentucky and southern Indiana. This is why we take every effort to protect the property of our residential and construction customers.

Moon Dumpsters uses boards to protect driveways.

With Moon Mini Dumpsters, we take care of your property when we come to your house or construction site. Regardless of the dumpster size, we always take steps to keep the area safe. We place boards underneath our containers to protect your driveway, yard, and other areas around your home or workspace.

Smaller trucks do less damage to Louisville properties.

Because our trash hauling containers are in the “mini-roll-off” category, they are delivered by smaller, more maneuverable trucks. Therefore, we are able to situate dumpsters in tight locations unsuitable for larger commercial vehicles. Our vehicles are lighter and more appropriate for residential driveways that may not tolerate the heavier commercial trucks.

Choose from a wide variety of sizes with Moon Mini Dumpsters! You can be confident that your Louisville driveway or property will NOT be damaged by dumpsters or large trucks. As always, “Ask for the Moon, and get it!”

Rain Gardens Aid Louisville Waste Management

February 6, 2014/0 Comments/in Environment/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Water has one consistent property that can cause problems. Water flows! This may seem pretty obvious, but many people may not realize the implications of this one property. Excessive water runoff can severely damage water sources. According to the Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District, rain gardens can aid waste management efforts.

How can a rain garden protect local waterways?

When there is excessive water runoff resulting from heavy rains and storms, this water absorbs chemicals, wastes, and toxic substances from the environment. When storm drains flood, this harmful water reaches local streams and waterways. Thus the local water, plant life and animals are all affected.

Rain gardens are designed to collect rainwater from the roof. Drainage lines are redirected from the normal channel into a nearby garden. The redirected flow is absorbed by plants and infiltrates into the ground. Water runoff from roofs diverted into Rain Gardens and Rain Barrels prevents storm water and pollutants from reaching storm drains, and eventually our streams and rivers.

What should I put in my rain garden?

Local plants work best! Native plants are the foundation for all levels of life and increase the ecological value of all landscapes. Native plants have deep roots and once established, require little maintenance. They have the ability to withstand extremes in weather and long periods of drought.

Native plants in Kentucky

Trees/Shrubs: Silky Dogwood, Winterberry, Elderberry, Coralberry
Ferns: Lady Fern, Royal Fern, Cinnamon Fern, Christmas Fern
Wildflowers: Goldenrod (Kentucky’s State Flower), Wild Ginger, Jacob’s ladder, Butterfly Milkweed, Giant Sunflower, Southern Blazing Star

These are only a few of the many native plants to the Louisville area. A more complete list is available.

Louisville Wins Russell Athletic Bowl 36-9

January 6, 2014/0 Comments/in Louisville Events/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

Congratulations to the Louisville Cardinals for their HUGE win in the 2013 Russell Athletic Bowl! The Cardinals soundly defeated future ACC opponent Miami 36-9 to end their season with a bang. It was a complete team performance that made Coach Charlie Strong “so proud.”

Louisville Keys to Victory

Offense, Defense, Special Teams-As in most lopsided football victories, Louisville dominated every aspect of the game. Coach Strong said, “We knew that we had to play well in all three phases of the game and we accomplished that.”

Cardinals Stars Shine-Every team needs its big time players to excel in big time games. Teddy Bridgewater came to play on Dec. 28. He used his athleticism to elude defenders and create plays. “Teddy football” threw for 447 yards and 3 touchdowns, adding a rushing touchdown to his stats.

Defense Wins Championships-Louisville defense sacked Miami QB Stephen Morris four times and had eight tackles for loss. This was the first time in three years that Miami did not score a touchdown or field goal in the first half. The Cards also held Miami to less than 10 points in a bowl game for the first time since the Hurricanes’ 2005 Peach Bowl.

Moon Mini Dumpsters is proud of our U of L Cards and their outstanding season! The team finished 12-1 and capped off the year with a dominant bowl performance. We are very excited about next year’s move to the ACC and competitive future it will bring.

Louisville Plays Miami In Russell Athletic Bowl

December 19, 2013/0 Comments/in Louisville Events/by Moon Dumpster Rentals

louisville bowl game The time and place are set. The opponent has been chosen. The only thing left is to play the game! Louisville (11-1) will take on Miami (9-3) in the Russell Athletic Bowl, and that is just fine with the fans.

Louisville fans are anxious for another opportunity for their program to get more national exposure. A win over a high-profile team like Miami will do just that. The players and Coach Charlie Strong didn’t really have a preference. They tend to take the competitive stance and want to face the “best available.” They may have gotten it in this case.

More than just a game.

There is more to this game than just football. Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater, like many college athletes these days, traveled far from home for his collegiate experience. The Miami, FL native will be returning to his home state to take on a program he is very familiar with to say the least. Whenever there are personal connections between opposing teams, the game takes on new meaning. “This is a special game from both sides,” Strong said. ““They all know each other…It’s just special.”

Does either team have an edge?

Even with “home field” advantage, Miami does not appear to be a favorite in this one. The Hurricanes are coming off of a two year, self-imposed postseason ban. When they enter the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando on Saturday, Dec. 28, they will be facing a Cardinals team with four straight bowl appearances. The two teams are pretty balanced, but Bridgewater gives Louisville a slight edge with his skills and experience. The future first-round pro led the Cardinals to an “upset” of Florida in last year’s Sugar Bowl. He is used to playing in the big game spotlight away from home.

Moon Mini Dumpsters proudly supports the University of Louisville athletics and academics. Bring us home a win! Go Cards!
