Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Events
Check out the information regarding electronics and hazardous waste drop off this spring/summer. Click here for the 2013 flyer.

Big Green Box Battery Recycling

If you would like to drop off your household batteries or cell phone batteries at the Township for recycling, you no longer need to tape them!  They can be delivered just as they are with no tape and no plastic bags.   If you have any questions, please contact us at 215-348-9915. 


Leaf and Yard Waste
Recycling

The best thing for the environment is to let your leaves lay, but if you want to clean up your yard and garden in an environmentally friendly way, bring your leaves and yard waste to the Township's 2013 leaf and yard waste composting site. Removing yard and leaf waste from the Solid Waste Stream is important! This program is open to Doylestown Township residents only.  The Drop off Site is open every third Saturday of the month, March-December.  The first Leaf and Yard Waste day in 2013 will be Saturday March 16th from 9 am to 11 am.

Location: New Britain Road access to the back part of CENTRAL PARK

Directions: Turn into the New Britain Road entrance to the back part of Central Park 

What can I bring?
You can bring any leaf and yard waste from your garden. This includes small brush, leaves, sticks and limbs. Please make sure your limbs are small enough that one man can carry them. If you bag your waste to transport it to the program, please be aware we will not be keeping the bags. You can bring your leaves in any container, but we will no longer be shredding biodegradable bags. If you have questions about this program please call 215-348-9915.
 

Cardboard Recycling

Drop off your corrugated cardboard recycling at the Township Building, 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. The dumpster is located about half way down our parking area on the right hand side. Drop off times are from dawn until dusk 7 days a week. Please remember to break down your boxes before placing them in the container. This program is for Doylestown Township residents only.
 

Curbside Collection

Your trash hauling service also includes the collection of recyclables. Please ask your hauler if they provide receptacles (Doylestown Township does not) and if not, what types are acceptable.

The following recyclable materials are required by ordinance to be collected curbside in Doylestown Township (commercial collection includes corrugated cardboard and office paper):

aluminum cans steel cans #1 plastic bottles #2 plastic bottles
clear glass brown glass green glass newspaper
 
Please check with your trash hauler to see what they accept for recycling curbside.  Each hauler has a different recycling program, with different items collected curbside.  The list could be much longer than what is listed here depending on your hauler.
