Recycling

Big Green Box Battery Recycling

If you would like to drop off your household batteries or cell phone batteries at the Township for recycling, make sure you package them correctly. We will only accept batteries that are individually taped at both ends 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 any questions, please contact us at 215-348-9915. 

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT BATTERIES TAPED WITH SCOTCH-TYPE (CLEAR) TAPE.


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 2010 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.
 
Location: Delaware Valley College
Directions: Turn in Farm Lane off Lower State Road adjacent Farm Market, proceed to top of hill past building on left. Turn left across new Bike & Hike path to a point of ending past the woodland on left. Directional signs will be appropriately placed the day of the event.

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.

2010 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: d
anger, 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.
