Aligned With Philadelphia Streets Department & Commercial Waste Expectations
In Philadelphia, multifamily properties (typically those with 6 or more units) are classified as commercial entities. This means property owners are legally required to contract with private, licensed haulers and implement a mandatory recycling plan. Apartment communities need clean, organized, and well-documented waste operations that support resident convenience, recycling access, enclosure cleanliness, and compliance with Streets Department enforcement.
