What problem was identified regarding a dumpster located on gravel?

Having a dumpster located on gravel presents several potential issues related to sanitation and safety. One of the primary concerns is that gravel surfaces can allow waste to seep into the ground or become displaced, leading to an accumulation of litter and making it difficult to maintain a clean and safe environment. Paving the area with concrete or asphalt provides a solid, impervious surface that can better contain spills, prevent leachate from contaminating the surrounding soil, and facilitate easier cleaning.

Additionally, a paved surface supports effective drainage and minimizes the likelihood of standing water, which can attract pests, promote odors, and create a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, the recommendation to have the surface underneath the dumpster paved with concrete or asphalt ensures better hygiene practices and helps mitigate any health hazards associated with waste management.
