Commercial Pickup
Here’s How It’s Done!
Solid Waste Services provides refuse collection services for Edmond businesses and multi-family (apartment) dwellings. The collector services about 125 containers per day. Containers sizes are 2, 4, 6 and 8 cubic yard.
Automated trucks increase productivity and decrease chances for injury to our employees.
Using hydraulic controls, the collection inserts forks at the front of the truck into side pockets of the container, and lifts the container overhead to dump contents into the truck hopper.
What You Need To Know
Make sure all of your refuse is placed in your container. Any waste that is outside of the container will not be collected. Contact us at (405) 359-4541 if you need additional collections. The fees are nominal and will be added to your utility bill.
Some waste items such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances can damage the collection equipment and should not be placed in the containers. Call us at (405) 359-4541 to schedule a monthly bulk collection for the large items. This will ensure we get the correct equipment on the job to avoid injury to our employees and prevent damage to collection equipment.

As a part of the service, customers are assigned to share use of metal containers of 2, 4, 6 and 8 cubic yard size. Containers are the property of the City of Edmond and are permanently assigned to business addresses. The containers are designed to handle up to 6,000 pounds, however never load dirt, concrete or other heavy materials into the containers. If the container is overloaded, you will be asked to unload it.
Commercial container cost ranges from $42.00 to $251.00 per month depending on container size (4, 6 or 8-cubic yard) and frequency of the collection (once to 4 times per week). Multiple containers are provided at apartments, school campuses or where waste volumes are more than needed for one container that is collected four times per week.
Some large businesses purchase large industrial stationary compactors with 25 to 42 cubic yard capacity roll-off containers attached. These are serviced by Edmond Solid Waste Services with special "roll off" hauling equipment. Charges for "roll off" hauling is $100.00 haul plus $5.00 per cubic yard for disposal at the Edmond Transfer Station or $125.00 per haul and no disposal cost to recycling centers in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Customers must make the arrangements themselves with the recycling centers.
TAG! You're it!
Please read the Customer Notification Tags left on your container. This is the only method our drivers have to communicate with you. The Customer Notification Tags let you know when there are problems and what is needed to correct them. If you need clarification on the tag message, call Solid Waste Services at (405) 359-4541.
