What do I do with old Paint?
The trash hauler will not take cans of paint so you can mix kitty litter or old shredded newspaper with the wet paint, stir it and let it sit until paint is absorbed by material. Dump the material in a plastic bag, seal it and place in trash can. Make sure all lids are off so trash hauler can see that there is no wet paint.

How are we billed for Sewer and Trash?

New residents are mailed pro-rated bills based on their settlement dates after moving in. Please call our office at 610-363-9450 with any question specific to your account.
New recycling containers are available for $10/each at the Township building.
When in Doubt, Throw it Out !
Scrap metal, pieces of wood, yard waste and children's toys are just a few of the items that "contaminate" the
recyclables. Scrap metal may be taken to a scrap dealer, yard waste should be composted and reusable children's toys may be
donated or thrown away if broken. DO NOT put them in the recycling bins.
Plastic bags present another problem. Recyclables should never be put in plastic bags. Plastic bags are not recyclable in curbside programs. Plastic shopping bags can be returned to your local grocery store and plastic trash bags should be used for trash only, not recyclables.
