Convenience of Curbside Recycling
Have you considered the convenience of curbside recycling? The Solid Waste Authority will stop by your home every two (2) weeks and pick up your recyclables for a nominal annual fee of $30 ($2.50 per month). Recycling should help to reduce your garbage bill and minimize those trips to the county recycling drop-off sites. We have curbside collection programs in Flemington, Mill Hall, Avis, Woolrich, Dunnstown, Castanea, McElhattan, Beech Creek and Renovo. We are currently under contract with the City of Lock Haven to provide this service to all city residents. If you are a resident of the City, please call 893-5900 for details.
When you subscribe to this convenient service you will be given a box to place your recyclables in. You will also be given information on the materials we collect and directions on how to prepare the materials for recycling. The materials we collect include: aluminum & tin cans, clear/brown/green glass bottles & jars, newspaper, magazines, junk mail, and No. 1 & No. 2 plastic bottles. All of the materials can be placed in the box as noted in the directions. It is that simple. Please feel free to call us with any questions you may have
Curbside collection occurs bi-weekly and includes the following materials: aluminum and steel can, Clear/Brown/Green glass bottles & jars, newspaper, magazines, mixed paper, and No. 1 & No. 2 plastic bottles. The collection program for the Renovo areas also includes corrugated cardboard. Download the Curbside Recycling Application Here.
Curbside Collection Notes:
- Please rinse out your food and beverage containers.
- Place your newspapers and magazines/junk mail into separate plastic grocery bags for pick-up.
- Please have your recyclables at the curb by 7:00 AM on the day of your scheduled pickup.
- If your collection day falls on a holiday, your recyclables will be picked up on the next business day.
What Plastics Can Be Recycled?
The Solid Waste Authority would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the plastic material we collect for recycling. Our recycling program only accepts plastic bottles and jugs which are coded either No. 1 or No. 2. Examples include: milk jugs, water bottles, soda bottles, and laundry and dish soap bottles.
We do not have the capabilities to process the following plastic items: margarine tubs, yogurt containers, plastic toys, motor oil bottles, TV dinner dishes, etc. This list could go on and on. Please remember if it is not a No. 1 or No. 2 bottle or jug it does not belong in the recycling container.
If you have questions or concerns about recycling plastic bottles and jugs, please feel free to give us a call. We will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for recycling.
