The county uses the app Recycle Coach, which is a green initiative created by the state of New Jersey. This app allowed residents of all counties in New Jersey to look up their trash and recycling schedules by simply entering their addresses. Also included in the app are helpful guides that provide information on how to recycle certain items and nearby facilities, and help you figure out if an item should be recycled or thrown in the trash. Sourgum Waste encourages the use of this app because not only is it an innovative technology, but it is also for a good cause, and we are all about sustainability ourselves.

In Gloucester County, residents are allowed to keep roll-off dumpster rentals on their property as long as it in anywhere on their property, like their driveway. To keep it on the street or in a public area, you will need to contact your town hall before proceeding with your dumpster rental because you may need a permit to be able to keep your dumpster on the street.

You can dispose of concrete materials in our construction dumpsters. However, you must keep in mind that there are weight limits on our dumpsters. If you go over the weight limit, an extra charge will be made to your final fees. To prevent that issue, we have a dumpster just for heavy-weight concrete materials such as asphalt, block, and stone. You are also able to recycle these materials at specialty facilities near your home so long as they are free of contaminants. Concrete dumpsters are ideal for you if your projects consist of driveway and slab removals and whole house or business remodeling.
