More Than Just Waste: A Legacy of Service Since 1970
Rooted in Tulsa: The Birthplace of American On-Site’s Vision
Nestled in the heart of Tulsa, Oklahoma, right along the iconic Route 66, lies the national headquarters of American On-Site. It’s more than just a location; it’s a testament to the company’s deep-rooted connection to the city. This very soil is where our founder, Kenneth Burkett, began his journey, hauling waste back in 1970. The streets of Tulsa have witnessed the evolution of a small hauling business into a national waste management and complete job site service powerhouse.
With the robust backing of our parent company, American Waste Control, we’ve brought this vision to life, offering diverse services, from roll-off and job site services to comprehensive waste & recycling management solutions. Our commitment to exceptional customer service, combined with our innovative approach, positions us at the forefront of the industry.
Our unwavering dedication to the environment truly sets us apart. We believe in empowering our clients, educating them to adopt better recycling habits, and making a tangible difference in the world. Our beloved recycling mascot, Feed Mr. Murph, stands testament to our educational initiatives, reaching out to a national audience and spreading the message of responsible recycling.
Our legacy is built upon the remarkable achievements of our founders. Kenny Burkett’s esteemed induction into the Waste Hall of Fame and Paul Ross’s notable recognition in Waste360’s 40 Under 40 set the stage, and Brian McCullough, with his profound entrepreneurial acumen and experience in the waste and recycling industry, has revolutionized operational processes and significantly elevated customer satisfaction through his ability to integrate innovative technologies.
As we continue our journey, we remain steadfast in our mission: to transform waste management into a valuable resource for the future. Join us in our endeavor to create a sustainable, waste-free world. At American On-Site, we’re not just managing waste; we’re managing resources for good.
Join the American On-Site family, where innovation meets purpose, and every team member plays a pivotal role in crafting a sustainable future.
All containers will be placed on a hard or paved surface to prevent property damage. If a customer requests placement on an unpaved surface, this could result in increased costs if inclement weather prevents removal on the date requested. Costs could include:
(1) a trip fee based on location and no less than $75, and (2) additional lease fees at the current rental rate until ground conditions allow for removal. If the container is placed on an unpaved surface at the customer’s request, the customer assumes all responsibility for any increased costs and any damage to the ground or grass this may cause.
Due to safety concerns, please do not attempt to move a container once placed at your site. If you need a container moved before the final pickup, please call our customer service.
American On-Site is not responsible for accidents, injury, or damage caused by a container or to a container while the container is at the customer’s location.
If a container is overloaded, American On-Site will either charge additional fees to haul the container or require the customer to offload material before removal if the container cannot be safely hauled.
Most material is acceptable for disposal in our temporary containers. Please see the following list for exceptions. If unsure of size or material, please contact our customer service prior to placing items in containers.
Example of Allowed Materials:
Example of Materials With Restrictions:
Materials such as rock, dirt, sand, concrete, tile, and brick are typically not permitted in most of our dumpster sizes due to their substantial weight. These materials can quickly exceed the weight limits for our trucks, as well as local and highway regulations, posing safety risks.
However, we do allow these materials in our 16-yard and 20-yard dumpsters under specific conditions. A 16-yard dumpster can be filled up to 3/4 with these heavy materials, while a 20-yard dumpster can be filled up to 1/2.
Please note that these materials are not allowed at all in our smaller 16-yard, 30-yard, or 40-yard dumpsters unless you have obtained written approval from us. This is to ensure we adhere to all safety standards and regulations.
When it comes to disposing of shingles, we do have specific restrictions based on the size of the dumpster due to weight considerations. Here are the guidelines:
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
When renting a dumpster from American On-Site, it’s important to be aware of the weight limits for each dumpster size. Overloading a dumpster can result in additional fees due to the extra costs associated with hauling and disposing of the excess weight at the local landfill. Here are the weight limits for our dumpsters:
Front Load Dumpsters:
Roll-Off Dumpsters:
Please note that these weight limits are in place to ensure the safety and efficiency of our waste disposal process. If a container is overloaded, additional fees will apply to haul the dumpster and for the extra weight charges at the local landfill.
In the event that a container is excessively filled, American On-Site will take one of two actions. We may levy additional charges (based on local landfill rates) and for the transportation of the overloaded container. Alternatively, we may necessitate that the customer remove some of the contents to ensure the container can be safely transported.
When disposing of electronics, it’s important to remember that they often contain components that can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of properly. Therefore, they should be recycled separately. Items like televisions, computers, and other electronics are typically allowed in dumpsters, but they often need to be recycled separately due to the specific materials they contain. Here’s how you can prepare your electronics for proper disposal:
Remember, improper disposal of electronics can lead to harmful materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium leaching into the environment. By recycling your electronics separately, you’re helping to protect the environment and conserve natural resources.
