RECYCLING

                                                           

EAST GREENVILLE BOROUGH COLLECTS THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS EVERY OTHER WEEK:

PLEASE SEPARATE YOUR RECYCLING MATERIALS INTO SEPARATE CONTAINERS IF POSSIBLE AND SET OUT AT THE SAME PLACE YOU PLACE YOUR TRASH.  (See recycling schedule below.)

Newspapers and Cardboard Collection

    Newspaper and cardboard arecollected the first SATURDAY of each month by the Boy Scouts. Please separate cardboard from newspapers. Magazines can be collected, but please bundle them with newspaper, not cardboard. These materials must be separated, bundled or secured on all four sides. DO NOT place in a plastic bag or bin! Failure to do so will result in your recycling not being taken.

Trash Collection

East Greenville trash bags can be purchased in rolls of five (5) bags for $10.00.  You can purchase the bags at:

  1. Univest Bank - Bank & Main Streets

  2. EZ Shoppe Store & Deli, Fourth & Main Streets

  3. East Greenville Borough Hall, 206 Main Street

Bulk items are waste material that is too large for collection in a Borough bag such as furniture, small household items, etc. Residents may discard one (1) bulk item per week by placing a borough bulk item sticker on the item in plain view. These items are placed out at the same time as your regular trash.  Items that WILL NOT be taken are:

TIRES

WASHERS

DRYERS

REFRIGERATORS

AIR CONDITIONERS

FREEZERS

OTHER "WHITE GOODS"

AUTO BATTERIES

POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT OUR TRASH:

  1. Only four bags of trash a week per residence, not to exceed the 50 pound weight limit.
  2. All bags must be closed securely to avoid any rubbish from being distributed by animals or wind.
  3. Trash bags must be placed out on Tuesday nights for pick up Wednesday. Trash may not be placed out before noon on Tuesday.
  4. All trash must be placed in a Borough bag.  Tying bags around receptacles is not acceptable.
  5. Keep in mind that failure to follow these rules will result in your trash not being taken away.

Branch and Shrub Collection

Branches are collected and chipped between April and October each year. Monday is the scheduled pick up day. However, due to the popularity of this service, we may not complete the pick up until later in the week.

* Place branches where you place your trash.

* We can spend no more than 15 minutes at any given stop.

* Stacking branches in an orderly fashion as close to the alley as possible saves pick up time.

* Branches must be less than 2 inches in diameter.

* We cannot remove downed trees.

*Remove all soil and dirt from shrub roots.

* No boards or lumber.
