Dumpster Rentals in Burlington County, NJ

Permits are issued at the town level, so permit needs will vary based on the city you live in. Typically, permits are not required if you are placing a dumpster on private property, like your driveway. However, you may need to purchase a permit if you plan on placing your dumpster on public property, such as a county road. Of course, we always recommend calling your city clerk to double-check the permit requirements for your specific situation. Applications for a dumpster permit can usually be found on your city’s website. For more information on the permit requirements of your city, visit our dumpster rental permits page.

Here at Sourgum Waste, we recognize the importance of recycling, so we love celebrating the work of counties that are making great strides toward recycling as well! Burlington County’s Occupational Training Center(OTC) has operated the Regional Recycling program since 1982. Recyclables are collected from single-family homes, multi-family complexes, public schools, and municipal drop-off sites. Last year, the program collected over 45,000 tons of recyclables and saved the county $3.3 million in avoided landfill disposal fees.

Burlington County also utilizes the Recycle Coach app to make recycling even easier. To learn more about Burlington County’s recycling initiatives, visit Burlington County’s recycling page.
