Services is finding several commercial customers getting creative in order to "over load"
their dumpster. This makes it extremely difficult to service the dumpster with standard
service. Spillage, cleanup, physically having to handle more debris than typical.
This additional fee would be charged per occurrence and is not a monthly fee.
