Restaurant Waste Management FAQs
How much does an average restaurant dumpster cost?
The average monthly cost for a restaurant dumpster is $178, but these prices vary by location and collection frequency.
Which restaurant dumpster size should I rent?
Smaller restaurants typically only need a 2 or 4 yard dumpster, while larger, busier locations might require 6 or 8 yard containers. Our knowledgeable account managers will help you determine the right size and number of dumpsters you need.
How do I recycle restaurant food waste?
Restaurant food waste can be recycled by composting it. Composting is generally done on-site in a secure bin. Some municipalities offer composting services in addition to trash and recycling pickup service.
To find out if composting is available in your area, reach out to your local municipality to see if they offer composting options in your district. You can also look for local organizations that offer composting services. For instance, companies like Cleveland-based Rust Belt Riders will often pick up the composted food waste for use on farms and in plant nurseries.
If you want to compost in your own bin, you can bring your waste to a composting facility. Visit FindAComposter.com to look up composting facilities near you.

- Cooking to order
- Composting unused scraps
- Donating soon-to-expire foods
