We are billed for waste management monthly. Bill payment is automatic via ACH. ACH payments have a tendency to break whenver we make changes to the Chase Account. The cost for three times per week is $175.
Do '''not''' overfill the dumpster. If the lid won't close, Waste Management will not pick it up. Leaving bags of trash inside the back door works well; someone (hopefully you) will put them in the dumpster when it's empty.
=== Pro Tips: Trash ===
They empty the dumpster 3 times per week.

There is no recycling pickup. Waste Management supposedly sorts the trash. They refer to it as passive recycling. They pull out the stuff they can find on the conveyor to sell. There is no room for recycling bins in the alley, due to parking spots. If that were to change the cost to add a 96 gallon recycling toter (Big Blue Recyling bins that look like a trash can) serviced twice per week would be about $230.

Do not put electronic waste in the dumpster.
Do not put hazardous waste in the dumpster.
Do not put paint in the dumpster without using a hardener powder for paint disposal. It's really cheap at home depot.
If you accidentally leave metal out near the dumpster, scrap faeries will take it -- so be careful. Items like CRTs may be broken for just the metal bits, so don't leave them out there.
