Somewhere in the murky depths of Brooklyn, a dumpster pool party is raging on. The New York Times‘ Melena Ryzik caught this “secret” dumpster fest on camera. Thanks to a deteriorating construction company, locals were given three 60ft dumpsters for personal use. After sanding off the rough edges, lining the dumpsters with plastic, and installing a water system, the “pools” were ready to go.
But what we really want to know is…
Consider the following:
- For ten days, a ginormous 30yrd dumpster costs $815. You can check here for how much one costs to rent in your local area here. Price of water installation not included.
- A similar sized above-ground pool costs $2,289. Price of pool installation not included.
- Dumpster pools have an unprecedented air of hipster chic. Above ground pools are kind of cheesy.
- Above ground pools are only usable for one season. Since the dumpster pool is portable, you can remove it during the fall and winter, increasing your backyard space tenfold.
Thanks to this decidedly biased analysis, you are now a pool connoisseur. So let’s try this again: Would you swim in an above ground pool or in a dumpster?

Dumpster pool, so ridiculous, yet so practical.
Even more practical than you think! At Dumpstersource.com you can rent a Dumpster but it includes "tonnage". You only need the Can (Dumpster) for 10 days or a month and you can Rent it from the same folks much cheaper to use as a swimming pool than the on-line rates for debris removal!!! Check out their site and give them a call. This could be a novel idea for a creatively themed summer party. Have a 2nd dumpster available to "dive" for treats. Forget the Piñata — dive the Dumpster for party gifts!!! (or works of art — check out this link http://www.dumpsterdivers.org and see how they recycle junk to make art).
Great article! I'm thinking instead of using the dumpster for a pool party, I'm going to throw a jello wrestling party. Penn State will never be the same!! They seem a lot cheaper for State College, PA at http://www.dumpstersource.com
I’ll post the same information to my blog, thanks for ideas and great article.
I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful. You still need to be wary of thieves, pickpockets and druggies on the streets, however, especially at night.
Inside the Chateau, visitors encounter powerful, unpredictable decor that plays a melodic homage to the classic, contemporary, and even the medieval era.
