Due to precautions brought about by the COVID-19 outbreak this year’s Hard to Recycle Collection events scheduled for 2021 are required to be registered based on the PA DEP. This allows us to control the flow of traffic into the event, ensuring the safety of the public, our staff, and recycling partners.
While registration for this event is free, there are some fees associated with recycling certain materials. Please see the list at the bottom of this page for more information.
