In Allentown, recycling is an important part of government policy. Reduce, Reuse & Recycle demonstrate the most effective way to save natural resources and create a better environment. The following is a list of acceptable items for recycling in Allentown:

It is essential that everyone in the community understands the importance of recycling. We highly encourage you to follow this Waste Collection Policy. Allentown also offers a limited curbside collection of yard waste, such as leaves, brush, and branches. If you only have a small amount of yard waste this is a great option. However, if you find yourself surrounded by a lot of yard debris a dumpster rental may be the best option for you. Our yard waste dumpsters come with flat rate pricing and we bring all organic waste to recycling facilities to divert it from ending up in the landfill.

Placing your dumpster rental is also another important step. You can choose between placing your dumpster on your private property or on public property like a street or sidewalk. Placing the dumpster on your own property will be much easier. If you have enough space, you can contact us directly and we will be able to deliver the dumpster on the same or the next business day. If you feel like the street will be a better choice for you, or if you simply don't have the room, you will need to get a permit from Allentown first. To file for a dumpster permit you will need to reach out to city hall for an application and submit the payment for an encroachment application. The dumpster permit is under the engineering department in Allentown. You can call them at (610) 437-7614. For dumpsters that are 20 cubic yards or less, the fee will be $35.00 / month. If the dumpster is larger than 20 cubic yards, the fee will be $55.00 / month.

Once you receive your permit let us know and we will be able to deliver your roll-off container. If you need help filing for a dumpster rental permit, simply reach out to us and our customer support team will help you file and secure a permit.

While concrete and other heavy aggregates can go into construction and demolition containers, it is typically more cost-effective to get a dedicated dumpster for them if you have over 3 cubic yards. Construction dumpster pricing is based on the weight of the debris, and while they come with a generous weight allowance, concrete, asphalt, and other heavy aggregates and quickly shoot up the weight and the price. To solve this issue we offer concrete and aggregate dumpsters that have flat-rate pricing. We can provide this cost-effective solution because we bring your concrete to specialty recycling facilities. Which not only saves you money but diverts waste from landfills moving the needle on our goal of Zero Waste.

Are you expanding your basement or putting in a pool? Any project that requires excavation will most likely generate a lot of dirt and soil that needs to be hauled off. Our dumpsters for dirt are a great option. Unlike a dump truck, you can keep the dumpster at your property and fill it at your own pace. Once the container is full, simply call or email us and we'll pick it up and haul it away. We make sure your dirt and soil are properly handled and reused to help protect your local environment and save you money. Our dirt dumpsters come with simple flat rate pricing, so long as you do not mix in any trash or contaminants you'll know exactly what your paying when you schedule your delivery. No hidden fees, fuel surcharges, or any other games. All of our pricing is honest and transparent because that is the way we believe all businesses should operate.
