Recyclable paper and commingled materials will be picked up once a week on your regular trash day. All recyclable materials must be stored/placed in the toter(s) provided by the Borough.
Single-Stream Recycling
Single Stream Recycling means that you don’t have to separate your recyclables. Instead place all of your recyclable materials, such as paper, cans and bottles in the same recycle toter. Single stream recycling has been shown to increase household recycling by 25%. This saves time by not having to separate recyclables.
The Borough is able to recycle unwanted campaign signage! All plastic signage is acceptable to be put in your normal recycling, however, we cannot accept the metal stakes that come with the sign. Please dispose of the stakes in your regular garbage.
