Business Waste & Commercial Garbage Service in Cowichan, BC

Size matters when it comes to garbage. Waste Management has many bin, dumpster and container options available to handle all of your waste and recycling needs. We make it easy to have your account serviced so you can get back to 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 stores, restaurants, lunch counters, delis, healthcare offices, urgent care locations, hospitals, health testing facilities and strip malls.

There is little difference between a front-load dumpster, bin or container and a rear-loading one. They will still have the same capacity for waste and refuse. The way the garbage truck picks up the dumpster is the key difference. With a front-loading dumpster, there is a metal sleeve on each end where the truck fork inserts and the container is lifted and emptied over the top of the truck cab. The rear-loading container is not as prominent and empties into the garbage truck differently.

Slanted-top bins are better suited for very cold environments. Melting snow and ice will drain off the slanted-tops. Both tops are made of hard core plastic. The base of the bins (or containers) are made of steel.

WM of Cowichan will consult with you to identify a location(s) that is easily accessible for our trucks and drivers and also safe for your customers and clean-up employees.

At minimum, pick up occurs once a week with additional days available, if required. We make it easy to up-size your container or arrange for additional pickups based on the seasonality and peaks of your business.
