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.

Dumpster Service
Report
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.

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.
Need Help

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.
