Lower Salford 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. The township also provides special containers for antifreeze and motor oil, which may be taken to a recycling center.
Though each hauler has its own instructions explaining what materials to recycle and how to sort them, the hauler you select should collect aluminum, steel, and bi-metal cans, glass, number 1 and 2 plastics, newspapers, and magazines. Haulers may pick up other materials in addition to these. Please contact your hauler with any questions about recycling materials, material sorting, and collection schedules.
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.

Beginning in fall 2011, municipal waste collectors operating in the township will be required to provide leaf and yard waste collection. Your hauler should inform you of the date of pick-up and may charge for the service. Residents may put out up to 10 bags per collection.
Leaves should be placed in biodegradable bags, which are available at the Township Office at 35 cents each, 3 for $1.00, or 50 for $16.50.
The township will continue to provide a container year-round for residents to drop off leaves and yard waste (no grass clippings). The container is located in the upper parking lot of the Township Building. Leaves and yard waste must be in biodegradable paper bags, which are always available for purchase at the township office for 35 cents per bag (3 for $1.00 or 50 for $16.50). Absolutely no plastic bags, household waste, or loose yard waste may be put into the container. You may also compost your yard waste.
Christmas trees can be dropped off during daylight hours through the month of February at the Upper Mainland Rd parking lot at Reiff Park. Please remove all ornaments, including garland and tinsel, before dropping off your tree. The trees are chipped and used for mulch throughout the township parks. If you have any questions please call the township office at 215-256-8087.
