Trash service for small apartment complex

[Jennifer M.]

Can any small apartment complex owners in SA (mine is 9 units) share what they are doing for trash service?  We have been using a dumpster since I've owned the place, but the cost is very high and I wonder if I'd be better off with traditional trash service or if 9 separate trash cans would be too difficult to deal with.  Would love to know what others are doing and the cost if you don't mind sharing.  We are paying about 12k/yr for dumpster service.  Thanks!

@Jason Hirko great idea to incentivize one of the tenants to be in charge of putting the cans out.  I just got a quote from a different dumpster provider and it turns out we have been severely overpaying for the past few years.  I'm mad at myself for just accepting that is a reasonable fee and not shopping around sooner.  Oh well, live and learn.  Thanks for your advice.
