Commercial
Waste Requirements
R
ecycling is the law in Philadelphia, and to
better understand how much waste and of
what types our communities are producing,
businesses are required to file an annual Commer-
cial Waste Report.
The Commercial Waste Report will help busi-
nesses and organizations better understand their
waste generation, identifying opportunities to reduce
and divert waste. Keep recycling. Ensure you’re in
compliance in five easy steps.
1. Fill Out the Official Commercial Waste Re-
port Online. Complete your business information
profile at commercialwaste.phila.gov, then fill out
your Commercial Waste Report. It must be submit-
ted annually by December 31.
2. Post Your Form Publicly. Print and post
your Waste Report in a prominent location. After
submitting your report, just click “View and Print
Commercial Waste Report Certificate” or print the
certificate attached to your confirmation email.
3. Distribute Copies to Your Employees. Hand
out copies of your completed Waste Report to em-
ployees so they are aware of the building’s recycling
and waste management practices and requirements.
4. Make Sure Recycling is Easy and Bins are
Abundant. Providing adequate recycling containers
for employees and patrons is a crucial component
of a successful recycling program. A recycling con-
tainer should be paired with each trash can.
5. Install Signage. Proper signage, including pic-
tures of the recyclables that are designated, is neces-
sary for educating employees and patrons on where
and how to recycle. Links to DIY and ready-to-use
signs identifying the recycling Do’s and Don’ts can
be found in the Commercial Waste Report Guide.
