NEW RECYCLING CONTAINERS

The new recycling containers have been delivered by Waste Management. Following is important information regarding the use of these new containers:

• The containers are for RECYCLABLE MATERIAL ONLY - do not place trash in the container.

• For a complete list of recyclable materials see WHAT TO RECYCLE.

• With the exception of plastic grocery bags which must be bundled and then placed in the container, all recyclable materials can be co-mingled and should be placed directly in the new container.

• Containers do not have to be put out every week. You can wait until it's full to put it out.

• Do not put the old bins out for trash/recycling collection. You may either keep the old container or drop it off at the Township building, 325 Fox Chapel Road to be properly recycled. The bins cannot be collected with your regular recycling as they must go to a different recycling facility.

• If you have questions about how to use the containers, SEE THE NOTICE which was placed inside each container.

If you have any other questions, please contact the Township office at 412-782-1400.
