Is Rolloff Container Theft a Big Problem?

Rolloff container theft is a growing issue that many businesses and homeowners don’t consider—until it happens to them. These containers, often used for construction debris, renovation projects, or large-scale cleanouts, may look immovable, but to an experienced thief with a truck, they can be easy targets.

Why Are Rolloff Containers Stolen?

Rolloff containers are commonly placed in driveways, job sites, or open lots—often unmonitored and unprotected. Thieves can simply hook up to the container and haul it away, sometimes in broad daylight, and be gone in minutes. Once stolen, the container and its contents are rarely recovered.

The consequences can be devastating:

• Loss of thousands of dollars in cleanup and equipment costs
• Project delays, especially when the container holds necessary materials or construction waste
• Loss of valuable contents, like scrap metal, appliances, and usable building supplies

What Can You Do to Prevent Rolloff Container Theft?

While security cameras and fencing may act as deterrents, these measures alone are not always enough. Traditional locks and chains can be cut or bypassed. What’s needed is a solution that directly prevents a rolloff container from being moved by unauthorized transport vehicles.

That’s where Box Lox comes in.
