Restaurant Waste Solutions FAQ

What is the cost of restaurant trash and recycling services?

Pricing for waste collection can vary based on the type of restaurant, size of restaurant, volume of trash and recycling produced, number of locations, dumpster sizes and pickup frequency.

What is the size of a restaurant dumpster?

Rumpke offers a wide variety of commercial dumpster sizes (measured in cubic yards). Common sizes for restaurants include:

2-yard dumpster
4-yard dumpster
6-yard dumpster
8-yard dumpster
10-yard dumpster

Rumpke will work with restaurant owners to determine the best placement of dumpsters at your location, along with any corral enclosure needs.

Why should my restaurant start recycling?

Restaurants already accumulate many recyclable materials, such as paper cups, plastic cups, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, steel cans, glass bottles and jars, and cardboard.

Customers are increasingly supportive of changes that can help reduce their overall carbon footprint. Restaurants who use reusable serving utensils or have separate trash bins and recycling containers marked with clear signage can easily make a difference in the waste stream.
