Green Waste Recycling Guidelines

In accordance with PA DEP Recycling regulations, we offer the following as a guideline to what materials are acceptable to dispose of at our Green Waste Recycling Center.

Load Inspection:

You are responsible for inspecting your load before and after unloading. Please take all unacceptable items along with you. Watch for any tools, which may be on your load. A digging iron mixed in the green waste that goes through a grinder can do thousands of dollars of damage in one second! If you think you may have left a tool in your load, please call us so we can watch for it.

Hours:

Drop off times are limited to our hours of operation.
7 am—5 pm, Monday thru Saturday.
