Question: When loading demolition debris into a bin or container, what is the best practice to maximize the load and prevent damage to the container?

Answer options:

• Drop large pieces of concrete from maximum height to break them upon impact. ✅ Carefully place larger, heavier pieces on the bottom, then fill voids with smaller debris without impacting the container walls.
• Load the container quickly to minimize cycle times, regardless of piece size.
• Use the excavator bucket to compact the material by pushing down firmly.

Correct answer: Carefully place larger, heavier pieces on the bottom, then fill voids with smaller debris without impacting the container walls.

Explanation: Placing heavier pieces at the bottom provides a stable base and protects the container floor. Filling voids efficiently maximizes load while careful placement prevents damage to container walls and ensures a balanced load.
