Do you take large items and when?

Included with your service, we take one (1) bulk item per week (i.e., sofa, chair, washer, dryer, etc.) on your second collection day of the week (if applicable). Items needing to be bundled, such as carpeting or wood should be cut into 4ft lengths and tied in bundles no more than 50lbs. each. A maximum of 4 bundles will be collected each week.

Due to state law, items containing Freon or CFCs (refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc.) require a special pickup and will be subject to an additional charge. Please call our office at (215) 723-0400 to schedule.

Does the trash inside the cart have to bagged?

Yes. All trash must be bagged and placed inside the toter (if applicable) or your own personal trash cans. If you do not use trash cans please make sure your bagged trash is securely prepared.

How many toters (carts) are we allowed to have?

Each resident receives one toter at no additional monthly charge with the service. You may put out up to three (3) additional 32-gallon cans or bags along with the toter. If you would like additional toters we will provide up to 3 for a nominal fee per month. There may be a one time delivery fee for the toter.

I have heard various names for your company. Why is that?

Allied Waste of Bucksmont is now a proud subsidiary of Republic Services. We have operated under the names Allied Waste or BFI Waste Services for over twenty years out of our Telford, PA office.

But, regardless of the name, we are all operating under the same mission—to provide our customers with service that exceeds their highest expectations.
