Waste & Recycling Services for Businesses
A smarter waste and recycling program for businesses of all types, from single-location operations to large multi-site organizations, built to cut costs, prevent missed pickups, reduce contamination fees, and improve diversion reporting.
Commercial waste and recycling services include the right containers, pickup schedules, and waste stream setup to keep your business clean, compliant, and cost-controlled. Waste Solutions builds waste management programs around real volume by optimizing service levels, improving recycling, increasing diversion, and making costs more predictable.

We handle the main non-hazardous waste and recycling streams your business generates. Accepted materials vary by region; we design the program around what your local infrastructure can process.
General waste
Routine garbage pickup with right-sized containers and optimized frequency.
E-waste
Electronics recycling options for approved categories based on region and material type.

Equipment types
Containers determine both cost and workflow. We help you choose the right equipment type and size for each stream, then optimize pickup schedules so service matches reality.
-
Front load dumpsters (2–8 yard)
Industry-standard stay on-site waste containers.
Best for recurring waste and recycling at restaurants, small/medium businesses, and multi-residential buildings. -
Roll off dumpsters (10–40 yard)
Large waste containers with 10-40 yards in size.
Best for short-term renovations, construction debris, remodelling projects, and temporary large volumes. -
Commercial totes (35/64/95 gal)
Best for tight spaces and separated streams like paper, containers, and organics.
Choosing the right waste container
Container choice drives cost, cleanliness, and service reliability. Start here if you’re not sure what you need.
Choose front load dumpsters for steady daily volume and limited space.
Choose roll offs for large waste volumes, bulky materials, ongoing operations, or temporary projects and cleanouts.
Consider a compactor if you’re paying for frequent pickups and generating high volume.
