Garbage Management in Chicago Multifamily?

[Danny Maller]

I have a 3 unit in the city in a low C or D area. Each unit has its own garbage bin and what my tenants and the surrounding neighbors/home owners do is keep them in the backyard gate until garbage day and then place them in the alley for a day. This is because the local drifter crowd will steal the bins for who knows what purposes. Chicago has pretty much dropped the ball entirely with replacing these bins so now everybody just steals each others bins.

So the problem is, the tenants sort of take turns taking out the garbage but it's getting a little messy. I would say just keep them in the alley but they'll get stolen. Has anyone hired someone to manage garbage takeout, or have any ideas?
