When you call, you’ll talk to a real person who knows the area and will help you find the right setup for your business.
Our Commercial Services
Commercial dumpsters
We provide rear-load dumpsters from 2 to 8 yards, so you can match the container to the amount of waste your business produces. Not sure what size you need? Give us a call and we’ll help you figure it out. Dumpster enclosure and concrete pad guidelines: Enclosures should be 12 feet wide to leave room for the dumpster. Recommended pad sizes:| Dumpster size | Concrete pad size |
|---|---|
| 2 yard | 10 × 5 ft |
| 4 yard | 10 × 10 ft |
| 6 yard | 10 × 12 ft |
| 8 yard | 10 × 14 ft |
Commercial cardboard recycling
Keep cardboard out of your trash dumpster. Waxy and shiny boxes are now accepted. Break large boxes down to fit inside the container, or cut them into pieces 2′ × 3′ or smaller, tie them together, and set them on top of the container.
Roll-off dumpsters
For remodels, new construction, cleanouts, or moving, we offer 10- and 15-yard roll-off dumpsters. Learn more about roll-off service.
Good to know
- The county landfill doesn’t accept items like tires, batteries, wet paint, motor oil, hazardous chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, electronics, or mattresses mixed with regular waste. These should be taken directly to the landfill.
- Plastic bags and Styrofoam are considered garbage, not recycling.
- Commercial service includes the Solid Waste Municipal Tax, currently 17%.
