Recycling FAQs

How do I participate in the recycling program?

It's easy to participate. Just find a convenient place to store your recycling bin, prepare your materials as described below, place them in the bin, and put the bin out when and where your refuse hauler designates.  These items should be placed in your recycling bin:  corregated cardboard (flattened), glass jars & bottles, metal food & beverage containgers, and plastic bottles and jugs with a neck.  Materials should be rinsed and the lids removed and placed in the trash.

When should I put out my recycling bin?

Though recycling pickup is available every week, making the program very convenient, your are encouraged to put out your recycling bin only when it is full, or nearly full. Recycling trucks will make fewer stops and collection will be faster.

Your recyclable materials and your trash are collected on the same day.

What should I do if I live in an apartment?

Those who rent apartments in buildings with three or fewer units will receive recycling bins. Those who live in larger buildings will not. It is the responsibility of the apartment complex owner or Manager, not the Township, to provide a recycling program for apartment dwellers.
