Small Commercial Accounts
Small commercial businesses that do not generate enough garbage to warrant dumpster service shall put out 1 city issued 96 gallon cart container, to be emptied twice a week at a monthly charge of $42.26. Additional containers can be requested at an additional monthly fee of $42.26 per container.Temporary Dumpster Rental
The City of Sebring has commercial garbage dumpsters available for short-term use to the general public. Short-term use is defined as no longer than 1 month. The average price for this type of rental is based on the size of the dumpster and the number of times the dumpster needs to be emptied once it is full. Also, there is a 1 time fee of $65.00 for dumpster delivery. Each time the dumpster needs to be emptied, the price would be $20.00 times the size of the dumpster used. An example: An 8 cubic yard dumpster emptied 1 time would cost $160.00 ($20.00 times 8 cubic yards).The use of a temporary dumpster longer than 1 month must be charged to the user as per the commercial dumpster rate; Please see the above commercial dumpster chart for additional information.
The delivery fee and first emptying charge must be paid in advance, by check or money order (no cash, please). Please make the check or money order out to:
