About this service
Take-out restaurants generate consistent daily trash — food waste, packaging, cardboard and beverage containers. Metro builds pickup schedules around your hours, including after-hours options when daytime truck visits would disrupt customers.
Pair trash service with cardboard recycling to handle high box volume from deliveries.
- Front-end load collection
- Recycling & cardboard
- Bulk item removal
- Emergency overflow
- Holiday collection options
