Services
We at Richard S. Burns & Company are proud of our past, present and future. Founded as a small, one-man local cleanout operation in the 1960's, we have grown into an innovative waste recycling facility with a staff largely comprised of employees from the local community. Our 7 acre recovery compound capable of handling over 1500 tons a day of waste and materials.
Burns offers an array of containers and dumpsters in 10, 20 & 30 cubic yard sizes. We can even fulfill unique job requirements, whether you have extraordinary volume needs or difficult site conditions. We also have a selection of smaller containers on dollies, which allow for the use of containers in very tight conditions, where a standard dumpster might not be viable.
Our recycling facility is open six days a week. Pricing varies, depending on the material and the amount of material. Please see our detailed schedule of pricing below. Remember, we have 2 LEED AP's on staff and can provide you with LEED Material Recovery reports, upon request. Call 215-324-6377 x208 for details.
A natural result of our recycling efforts is a large supply of recovered and ready-to-use material products. Listed below are some of the many products we have available for sale, including our patented cover product, Barrier. Richard S. Burns offers recycled wood, in chip form, to its customers. Wood chips are processed from recovered materials and are chipped to 2 in diameter or less.
Designed for small jobs or removal of heavy, more difficult to load materials such as concrete demolition, sod tear out, dirt removal or asphalt demolition. Great for tight or small space. This size dumpster is delivered by a smaller truck and the footprint of the dumpster fits neatly in a parking space.

Our company was a frequent customer at this facility in Philadelphia. Arrived at 7 this morning only to be told we must now have $188 cash in order to enter and unload. Not to pay for the load just for them to hold and it must be cash. New policy and no notice or warning was given. Now we have to leave, go to an atm and have cash to enter if we decide to go back. Well, we will be finding a different faculty because our unloaded and loafers are out daily and they used the business cards for transactions. This is a huge inconvenience for businesses and the drivers being sent to unload.
