It depends on your volume and how often you want pickup. As a rule of thumb, a small office or restaurant generates enough cardboard to fill a 2- or 3-yard rear-load weekly; a strip-center retailer typically needs a 4- or 6-yard; a multi-tenant office or grocery often needs an 8-yard. We size based on your actual generation rate after a free site visit. Request a site visit for an accurate spec.

Rear-load service is typically priced as a monthly fee that bundles the container rental, scheduled pickup, hauling, and processing. Pricing depends on size, pickup frequency, and material stream. Pure recycling dumpsters often have lower rates than trash service because the material has value. Request a quote for specifics.

Yes. Loop and our family of companies offer parallel trash/MSW service alongside recycling. Many customers run side-by-side rear-load dumpsters — one for recycling, one for trash — with both serviced on coordinated schedules. Talk to your account rep about bundled pricing.

Rear‑load service is most commonly used in urban environments where space is tighter. It works well for alleyways, downtown corridors, and locations with limited access or maneuvering room. Rear‑load trucks are designed to navigate narrow areas and service smaller container footprints typically found in city settings.

Two things. First, our containers serve dedicated recycling streams — your cardboard isn't being mixed with trash and sent to a landfill. Second, because we own and operate four MRFs across Chicagoland, we capture rebate value on the material and pass it through to customers in lower service rates or rebates. Most general waste haulers send your recyclables to a third-party processor — we are the processor.

Most new rear-load customers have a container on-site within three to five business days of contract approval. Urgent setups (tenant move-ins, opening a new location) can usually be expedited. Call dispatch at (815) 409-4613 if you need fast turnaround.
