Towamencin 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.
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 bimetal 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.

Your contracted waste hauler is required to provide leaf collection service. Leaves must be placed in biodegradable bags, which are available at grocery and hardware stores. Plastic bags are not permitted. Residents may put out up to 10 bags per collection. Pennsylvania law prohibits placing leaves in the trash.
Haulers may determine their own leaf pick-up dates and must inform their customers of the dates. There should be one collection in late October, one in November, and one in May. Your hauler may bill you for this collection. Haulers are required to report the tonnage from each collection to Towamencin.
During the rest of the year, you may compost your yard waste.
