RECYCLING
As a result of a state mandate, Penn Township was required to implement a curbside recycling program. In conjunction with this a refuse program was introduced to promote recycling and also place more emphasis on environmental shopping and waste reduction.
The program is simple, pay for what you use. Residents are required to use special Penn Township refuse bags sold at the Municipal Building or at any of its distributors for disposal of normal everyday household waste. Please click below for more information.
Special programs provided at no additional cost include:
Curbside Leaf Collection Christmas Tree Collection
For detailed information on the specifics of both recycling and refuse call 717-637-1561 Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or email pennrecycle@comcast.net.
