Dumpsters: keep or quit?

We seem to be the only facility that still has dumpsters, and the customers are not allowed to use them, but they still do EVERY DAY ALL DAY. Considering getting rid of them since it's a major headache. If you have stopped having dumpsters, how is it going for you? The problem is if we lock them up, they will just leave their trash everywhere else. Also we have tried locking them in the past, only to find they've thrown it all on top. Do we need to notify everyone in writing? The rental agreement states they cannot use the dumpster. We verbally discuss this with every new customer. Some of our old tenants think they have the right to use them since they "pay so much" and previous management never told them not to.

2. Get rid of it! And post a nice big sign telling them there's no dumpster and a $100 fine for leaving any trash. THEN ENFORCE IT! They'll stop!2 -

We have had a few people who left stuff, but they were very "apologetic" when we sent them an email "reminding" them about dumping and that we had added the fee to their account.
We also have a cardboard recycling bin that is available for customers, and we have one or two people a year try to sneak some trash into that bin.1 -
