Dumpsters and Containers to Meet Every Need.
Dumpster Service
Burns expertly provides two primary ways to recover and recycle the waste at your site:
- Bring it to our facility yourself or...
- Let us deliver one or more dumpsters or containers at your site.
We have a special pickup-sized dumpster, with X cubic yards of capacity, for smaller jobs and sites in tight locations like urban downtown areas. We also offer an array of containers and dumpsters in 10, 20 & 30 cubic yard sizes. We can even fulfill unique job requirements, whether you have extraordinary volume needs or highly difficult site conditions. Consult with us and we’ll custom-fit a solution for you.
Our two LEED APs on staff can guide you on earth-friendly disposal practices and provide you with Material Recovery reports upon request.
No matter what container service you choose, you must prep your site appropriately and comply with permitting requirements.
Permitting Requirements
The City of Philadelphia requires the property owner to have an “Equipment Placement” application, which enables holder to place container on the street or pavement. This permit is necessary because containers will often block the public right-of-way. The property owner is also responsible for keeping the dumpster covered when not in use, keeping the surrounding area clean and remedying odor issues.
Site Selection and Preparation
Wood planks must be placed under the wheel of the container to prevent damage to driveway or paved surfaces.
Placing containers on grass or ‘soft’ surfaces will cause damage.
As the customer, you are ultimately responsible for the placement and removal of the dumpster and any damage incurred during the normal scope of work.
Container Limitations
Lugger containers require a minimum 37' clearance, Roll-off dumpsters require a minimum 40' clearance.
Loads of concrete, brick, dirt, clean fill and sand must use 10 or 20 cubic yard dumpsters. Call us for our low rates on clean fill.
