Franconia Township residents must make arrangements for recycling with the hauler of their choice. See below for a list of haulers that operate in the township. Recycling bins are available at the Township Office.
Though each hauler has its own instructions explaining what materials to recycle and how to sort them, the hauler you select should collect newsprint and other paper, number 1 and 2 plastics, aluminum and bi-metal cans, and glass. Haulers may pick up other materials in addition to these. Please contact your hauler with any questions about recyclable materials, material sorting, and collection schedules.
In addition to curbside collection, residents may drop off cardboard at Franconia Township's highway maintenance building, located at 480 Indian Creek Rd.
If you wish to recycle a material that is not included in regular recycling collection, you can search for a drop-off.
This list is meant as a guide for residents and may not include all haulers that operate in the township. Several of the haulers listed also provide commercial recycling collection.
