Picked by Darin Chamberlin. In 42 years of landscape contracting, Darin has worked hand in hand with roofers, plumbers, remodelers, tree crews and storm repair pros, because every outdoor project depends on the trades around it. This dumpster rental store grew out of that work. It isn't a venture capital deal, it's gear Darin has seen get the job done.

Featured: Picked by Darin
Talk from the truck to the crew loading the container on a big cleanup or tear-out. 15 watts (5-watt low setting), IP67 sealed against dust and water, automatic noise canceling, 22 GMRS + 8 repeater channels and 154 privacy codes, PA and intercom, and NOAA weather alerts. The hideaway base unit tucks out of sight and runs off a DC vehicle adapter.
Using GMRS in the US needs an FCC license: no test, $35 for 10 years, and one license covers your immediate family. Anyone outside your family needs their own.

Crew radios over cell networks
Five push-to-talk radios that talk over 4G LTE or WiFi instead of radio range, so a crew spread across town (or across job sites) can still reach each other. Each one comes with a pre-installed SIM card, GPS and an SOS button, in an IP67 case that floats if it gets dropped in water.
Needs cell or WiFi coverage to work. Check the current price, coverage and platform terms on Amazon before ordering.

Choose a hard hat that matches the cleanup hazard assessment when head protection is called for.
Review the label for protection type, class, fit, and condition, and confirm it suits the job. A hard hat will not protect you from falls.
