Sometimes, the business has use of items that we pick up on junk removal work orders, but the vast majority of the time we end up with a huge truck full of junk and waste that we need to get rid of. The Sanitation Convenience centers of Philadelphia are great for organic waste such as trees, brush and other organic debris as well as household trash if you are a citizen just looking to get rid of household quantities of trash or debris. The city has become very strict in regards to commercial dumping at these sanitation centers however and this city definitely doesn't need more trash thrown in the streets. Enter Richard S Burns. I've been coming back and forth to this place for the last few years and keep seeing the same employees - a surefire sign of health in a business. Folks are straightforward, but polite. They have scales present so you are sure you know what your total due is, and they are very good with facilitating travel in and out. Sometimes there is a crazy amount of traffic going on but the staff seem to know how to keep everything in control and to keep the place safe, which I respect. There are signs warning you to be careful when driving in - due to nails in tires and such. I haven't had any problems with this but I imagine it could be a bummer to experience. Overall, the folks here are good at what they do and I always feel safe in the yard. Please don't dump trash in Philadelphia - give a call to Richard S burns to either deliver a dumpster or to process your loaded truck full of debris.

Burns & Co. just delivered my second dumpster and I couldn't be happier.. I have a VERY narrow…read moredriveway and their drivers expertly drop my 10YD dumpster up it with the utmost care. Other dumpster companies don't even try, so I was thrilled to find Burns who not only does it, but who's drivers are happy to do so and don't act like they are doing you a favor. Their prices are also very competitive and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who needs a dumpster in the Philadelphia area.

I didn't want to put it out with the trash, but i didn't know what to do with it Recently I found Elemental Inc. down on Church st. that recycles old electronics, so i went there today and dropped the monitor as well as some DSLR camera batteries that no longer hold a charge. Chris was helpful, and I'm definitely going back with other lithium batteries, old cordless phones and whatever else is collecting in my house

Seen the FB post from Armor Metals in Pennsauken and decided to check it out. Stopped in the office since it was my first time. Got some directions and backed up to one of the doors unloaded my presorted recyclables. The worker weighs your stuff writing down what it is ( i.e. Copper, aluminum, motors, computer components, etc. He then gives you your results on paper to take to the office and be tabulated up. Different prices depending on what is in. Some of the smaller computer components like memory were taken up to a smaller scale. I was given some good advice for getting a better price by simply popping off the aluminum fins and taking out the chips on the boards first. That right there is a sign of doing good for your customers! Definitely will be back when my next load is ready.
