What is the best tarp material for hauling municipal solid waste (MSW)?

For municipal solid waste, an 18 oz. or 22 oz. solid vinyl coated polyester tarp is recommended. MSW often contains liquids and generates odors; a solid waterproof tarp prevents leakage and contains odors better than a breathable mesh tarp. Additionally, vinyl provides a smooth surface that prevents waste from snagging during the dumping process.

How do automated tarp systems improve safety in the waste industry?

Automated systems, such as the Donovan Bullet or Hammer II, eliminate the need for drivers to physically climb onto the trailer or container to secure the load. This drastically reduces the risk of slip-and-fall injuries, which are among the most common accidents in the waste management sector. Furthermore, in-cab controls allow the driver to deploy the tarp while remaining safely away from moving heavy equipment on the landfill or transfer station floor.

What is a Mega Mesh tarp and when should I use it?

Mega Mesh is a highly durable, PVC-coated woven mesh fabric designed specifically for extreme abrasion resistance. It is the ideal choice for roll-off trucks hauling construction and demolition (C&D) debris, scrap metal, or tree branches. The mesh construction allows air to flow through, reducing wind drag on the highway, while the heavy-duty PVC coating prevents sharp objects from tearing the fabric.

Can DeBrovys provide custom-sized tarps for specialized transfer trailers?

Yes. While we stock standard sizes for common roll-off containers and dump bodies, DeBrovys specializes in custom fabrication. We can manufacture tarps to exact dimensional specifications with custom hardware placement, reinforced wear zones, and specific material weights to suit specialized waste transfer trailers.
