Commercial Dumpster Rentals in San Francisco

One weekly trash collection service is included in the base price of your commercial dumpster rental. You can order extra servicing for an additional fee per day—if you need garbage picked up every day of the week, we’ll take care of it. Your pickups will take place on the same days each week (for example, every Tuesday and Friday), but you can request individual off-schedule pickups for a charge.

All waste must fit entirely within the dumpster (below the lid) when your providers arrive for pickup, or you’ll be charged for overfilling. There are no specific weight limits for commercial dumpster rentals, but if a load is ever too heavy for the garbage truck to lift, the providers will leave without taking your trash and you’ll be charged a dry run fee.

Front load dumpsters can be used for municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition debris (C&D). MSW is everyday garbage, like food scraps, paper towels, packaging, and old clothes, while C&D includes metals, plastics, wood, rocks, branches, etc. You may not dispose of hazardous materials, medical waste, or electronics in a front load dumpster.

If your business produces a lot of paper, empty bottles and cans, or other recyclable waste, we recommend that you order a separate 8-yard recycling dumpster along with your standard dumpster to encourage sustainable practices. Less common recyclable materials like clean dirt, manure, tile, and metal shavings will need to go in special clean dirt and concrete dumpsters, which are available by request.

Before you place a commercial dumpster rental order, make sure there is a safe and accessible placement area at your location. The ideal placement site has enough room for at least double the size of your dumpster, and a garbage truck must always be able to reach it easily. If your dumpster is in an open area, we recommend ordering a bar lock to prevent unauthorized people from using it after hours and/or a bear lock to keep animals from making a mess.
