Throughout the year, the county holds a Household Hazardous Waste Clean Up event. All residents of Hunterdon County are welcome to attend this event, and no pre-registration is required. Because most household products may contain reactive and toxic ingredients, it is important to discard them the proper way. Improper ways of disposing of hazardous waste like pouring down the drain or the storm sewers or putting them out with the regular trash. Not only is this unlawful, but it is also horrible for the environment. We encourage residents of the county to participate in this event to prevent these hazardous materials from becoming a threat to the health of humans. More details on this event can be found at Hazardous Waste Clean-Up Day.

If you are replacing an old roof or installing a new one, you will need an appropriate dumpster for the waste produced. Sourgum Waste is the perfect choice for a roofing dumpster rental.

Concrete materials can be disposed of in our construction dumpsters, but it is important to keep in mind the weight limits of our dumpsters. If you go over the weight limit, you will also need to pay more as a result. So, since concrete can be heavy, we have a special dumpster dedicated to heavy-weight concrete materials such as asphalt, block, and stone. These materials can also be recycled at specialty facilities near your home as long as they are free of contaminants. Concrete dumpsters are ideal for you if your projects have to do with driveway and slab removals, tearing down walls, and home or business remodeling.
