Big Green Box Recycling: If you would like
to drop of your household batteries or cell phone batteries at
the township for recycling, make sure you package them
correctly. We can only accept batteries that are all
individually taped at both ends of the battery with masking or
electrical tape. If you don't want to tape them, your
second option is to place each battery into a separate plastic
bag (snack size zipper bag for example). If you have a
significant build up of batteries we suggest you take them to
the county's household hazardous waste drop off dates, they do
not require taping or bagging batteries. If you have any
questions, please contact us at 215-348-9915. |

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 Bio degradable
bags. |

If you have questions about this
new program please call 215-348-9915. |

2009 Southeastern Pennsylvania Household
Hazardous Waste and Old Computer Collection Program
What can you bring? As many as three
old Computers and up to 25 gallons or 220 pounds of Hazardous
Products. Read the label! Hazardous Products will have
cautionary words on the label. For example:
Danger, Warning, or
Caution. Other words or phrases that can signal hazardous
products include: poisonous, hazardous, combustible, flammable,
corrosive, volatile, caustic, irritant, explosive, toxic, use
with adequate ventilation, or avoid inhaling.
If there are no words indicating it is a hazardous product, it
likely isn’t.
Why?
Household products containing toxic chemicals, like pesticides,
oil-based paints, solvents, cleaning products, weed killers and
automotive batteries can be a threat to people and the
environment if improperly discarded. Never throw these materials
into the trash, as the toxic chemicals may harm sanitation
workers, or result in fires in collection vehicles. It is also
not safe to pour them into a sink or storm drain as they can end
up in the environment polluting the air, water, or soil.
