Waste Management New Recycling Regulations for the Borough
Beginning in January, 2019 Waste Management will begin providing the solid waste and recycling services to the Borough. New regulations will be in effect at that time, with the company no longer accepting recyclables at the curb containing heavy contamination:
In addition, Waste Management will no
longer accept recyclables in any type of plastic bags. Materials must be placed
loose in your recycling bin. Plastic retail bags should be taken to your local
retailer to recycle. Only recycle plastic bottles, jars and jugs labeled as #1
PET or #2 HDPE plastic in your curbside recycling bin. If it is not a bottle,
jar or jug it must go in the trash. Glass will no longer be accepted for
recycling.
