Your garbage will be collected once per week at no additional cost, but you can order up to seven days of servicing for an extra fee per day. Your pickups will be scheduled to occur on the same days each week (for example, every Wednesday and Saturday), but you can request individual off-schedule pickups at a cost.

We do not have specific weight limits for commercial dumpster rentals. However, if the garbage truck is ever unable to lift a heavy load, the provider will leave without taking your garbage and you will be charged a dry run fee. There should be no waste extending beyond the height of the bin or on the ground outside of it. If the dumpster is too full at the time of pickup, you will be charged for overfilling.

Everyday garbage (food scraps, paper towels, packaging, etc.), otherwise known as municipal solid waste (MSW), can be disposed of in a front load dumpster. These dumpsters can also be used for the disposal of construction and demolition debris (C&D), such as metals, plastics, wood, rocks, branches, etc. Hazardous materials, flammable materials, and medical waste cannot be discarded in a front load dumpster.

You might be interested in ordering a separate 8-yard recycling dumpster in addition to your standard dumpster rental if your business produces a lot of recyclable trash, like paper or empty bottles and cans. We also offer special clean dirt and concrete dumpsters if you need to dispose of less common recyclables like manure, brick, and metal shavings. 

Before ordering commercial dumpster rentals for your Chicago location, confirm that your site has a safe and accessible placement area at least twice the size of the dumpster. A garbage truck must always be able to reach your dumpster without difficulty. If your dumpster is in an open area,  we suggest ordering a bar lock to prevent unauthorized users from accessing it after hours and a bear lock to keep animals from making a mess with your trash.
