BUSINESS RECYCLING

PICKUP

Size matters when it comes to garbage. Waste Management has many bin, dumpster and container options available to handle all your waste and recycling needs. We make it easy to have your facilities serviced so you can focus on running your business.

Front-load containers, bins and dumpsters are most often used for non-residential, business or commercial waste collection. You can arrange for one or more 2-,4-, 6- or 8-cubic-yard containers. 

Front-load containers are good for office buildings, manufacturing plants and offices, distribution centers, apartments, multi-family properties and residential buildings, hotels, schools and universities, shopping centers, grocery stores, convenience stores, service stations, auto body shops, nail salons, hair and grooming salons, restaurants, lunch counters, delis, healthcare offices, urgent care locations, hospitals, health testing facilities and strip malls.

Front-load dumpsters and rear-load dumpsters typically have the same capacity for trash and refuse. The key difference is the way the truck picks up and empties the dumpster. With a front-loading dumpster, there are metal slots on both sides of the dumpster where the truck forks insert, and the container is lifted and emptied over the top of the truck cab. 

With rear-load dumpsters, the truck connects directly to the face of the dumpster, usually by way of a cable. This means rear-load dumpsters don’t have slots on the sides, making them ideal for tighter spaces.

Slanted-top bins are better suited for very cold environments. Melting snow and ice will drain off the slanted tops. Both types of bin have tops made of hard plastic.

Waste Management will consult with you to identify a location(s) that is easily accessible for our trucks and drivers and safe for your customers and employees. 

Business trash pickup is once per week, with additional days available by request. We make it easy to up-size your container or arrange for additional pickups based on the seasonality and peaks of your business. 

Waste Management recognizes that our business customers have many different priorities and that their time is valuable. We offer 24/7 online support through the My WM portal and online chat features. We send digital alerts and notifications and offer AutoPay and Paperless Billing. The My WM account portal allows you to track and manage your business account’s records online. Phone support is also available during regular business hours, at 877-797-7598.

Roll-off dumpsters — so named because they have wheels and are unloaded from the back of a roll-off truck — are ideal for manufacturers, large retailers, commercial or residential renovations, construction and demolition firms, land, yard or tree clearing trimming and removal, festivals and large events, and agricultural harvests. Many different sizes of roll-off dumpsters are available from Waste Management. The most-popular sizes are 20-, 30-, and 40-cubic-yards of capacity. 

Roll-off dumpsters and bins can be placed in safe locations. Waste Management trucks will need to be able to access the dumpster in order to remove it. Once emptied, it can be replaced in its original or other designated location. Some types of waste, especially hazardous, are not allowed in roll-off dumpsters and/or require an additional fee. Contact us at 855-852-7110 to order your roll-off dumpster or to ask about what materials can and cannot be placed in a roll-off container.

Waste Management offers commercial, business and industrial recycling services, and there is no “one size fits all” approach. We invite you to contact our customer service team at 877-797-7598 to identify how our recycling services can meet your specific business ecology and needs. Our most common recycling services include weekly pickup of commonly recycled items, such as cardboard, paper and everyday metals or plastics. In select areas and markets, we offer heavy duty paper, steel, aluminum, fiber and plastics recycling. Typically, these items are collected through roll-off dumpsters, frontload containers or compactors. These specialized recycling offerings can be packaged with your commercial waste, trash or garbage service at a great value.
