How Your Commercial Dumpster Size Could Impact the Money Coming from your Pockets

How to Choose the Right Commercial Dumpster Size and Pickup Schedule

Every business produces waste differently. A restaurant may fill its dumpster quickly with daily waste, while an office or retail business may need much less capacity throughout the week. Choosing the right commercial dumpster size and pickup schedule can help businesses in Greenville, Five Forks, Simpsonville and throughout Upstate South Carolina manage waste efficiently without paying for more service than they actually need.

What Size Commercial Dumpster Does Your Business Need?

The right dumpster size depends on more than the size of your facility. The type and volume of waste your business generates, number of employees or customers, available space and frequency of service can all affect how much capacity you need. This is why having a waste management professional visit your facility can be valuable. Instead of estimating your needs over the phone, a professional can evaluate your property, current waste volume and disposal habits before recommending an appropriately sized commercial dumpster.

How Often Should Your Commercial Dumpster Be Picked Up?

Dumpster size and pickup frequency should work together. A smaller dumpster may be appropriate for a business with frequent pickups, while another facility may benefit from a larger container serviced less often. Too-frequent pickups can mean paying for service your business does not need. On the other hand, waiting too long between pickups can result in overflowing containers and waste accumulating around your facility. Ever Green Environmental offers customizable commercial service, with pickup schedules available from once to five times per week.

Are You Throwing Too Much Into Your Business Dumpster?

It is also important to consider what is taking up space in your dumpster. Recyclable materials such as cardboard, paper, plastic and aluminum may be better suited for a commercial recycling program rather than occupying valuable space in your trash container. Separating recyclable materials from general waste may help businesses reduce the amount of trash sent to landfills.
