Solid Resources

 

 

Effective for the calendar year of 2011, a Solid Resources Fee of three hundred dollars ($300.00) will be imposed on any commercial establishment or multi-unit property receiving city collection of rubbish and recycling materials. The City of Philadelphia currently collects solid waste from eligible small commercial establishments and multi-unit properties. Owners of these premises may elect to continue receiving the city's services for the annual fee or obtain collection services from a private hauler.

 

A letter was distributed on June 15, 2011 to all property owners affected.  

 

To speak to a representative, property owners may contact the Solid Resources Unit at         (215) 686-5090 or email solidresources@phila.gov. For a complete overview of the solid resources fee visit www.philadelphiastreets.com/solid-resources-pay.aspx.
