Sure, but they have stuff to throw away other than food, too, so they’re paying for it regardless. Some places in the US make property owners pay for waste disposal separately, but even then it could be a flat fee so the business wouldn’t gain anything by throwing less stuff away. Some places just include it in property taxes, in which case, again, the business wouldn’t gain anything.
Collection is often on a schedule so it gets emptied regardless.
It may very well be the case that most American businesses pay by the pound, ton, or bin. I don’t know. I do know that in some cases it’s a fixed cost, up to the size of a bin within a certain time period, anyway.

If you don’t fill the bin with food, it takes longer to fill up. So you pay less.

In one of my brother’s town, the residential pickup is scheduled weekly but if you use all of the bins they charge you more.
