Dear Brentwood Resident ,
TRASH
We are pleased to inform you that County Hauling , a Noble Environmental company , was awarded the contract for residential trash and recycling collection in Brentwood beginning January 1 , 2024 . We look forward to providing Brentwood with a safe and efficient collection program ! Our goal is to keep as many collection days the same as possible , however there are a few streets that will be receiving service for trash and recycling on different days . Please see the attached street listings to determine your regularly scheduled pick-up day . Please keep in mind that New Year ' s Day falls on a Monday this year so the first collection of the year will be delayed by one day .
The following guidelines apply to all residential trash and recycling collection in the Borough :
• Trash and recycling must be out between 5 PM the day before collection and 6 AM on the morning of collection .
• Recycling will begin on the week of January 1 and will be collected every other week moving forward for all residences .
• All trash and recycling containers , as well as bulk items , must be within five feet of the curb ( or five feet from the edgeof a traveled road ) and placed so as not to interfere with the collection of other items , block the right of way or obstruct traffic . Items not visible or otherwise obstructed from view will not be collected .
Around Brentwood
• All trash MUST be bagged before being placed in the trash can . Loose trash is a potential health hazard for our employees , is more difficult to collect and is a major factor in municipal litter .
• Please do not bag your recycling , it should be placed in the container loose . If you are placing loose cardboard out for recycling , please flatten all boxes and stack them neatly next to your recycling can .
• Brentwood residents are eligible to receive scheduled collection of electronic and household hazardous waste at no additional cost . This can be scheduled by calling 724-929-7694 or by emailing info @ countyhauling . com .
• See the attached calendar for the Holiday collection schedule . If a holiday falls on a weekday , collection is pushed back one day for all days that follow .
Special Backyard Service Fee County Hauling can furnish backyard collection services for regular household refuse and recycling . Bulk items must be picked up at the curb . Residents may request this service by contacting County Hauling at 724-929-7694 . The monthly fee for this service is $ 40.00 for garbage , $ 35.00 for recycling , or $ 75.00 for both .

RECYCLABLES
Glass is back !! Clear , brown , blue , and green glass food and beverage containers or jars will be accepted in your recycling containers .
Types 3-7 Plastics are no longer recyclable . There is no market for this material , so if it ends up in the recycling , it will be trucked to the recycling plant , then sorted and trucked to the landfill . The best way to reduce the carbon footprint of each item is to follow these guidelines closely and be sure to reach out to our Customer Service if you have any questions !
The two types of plastic that are still recyclable are Types 1 & 2 , which are among the most common . Examples of Type 1 include soda , water , salad dressing and cooking oil bottles { either bottles you drink from , or that hold consumables ). Some examples of Type 2 include milk and juice jugs , shampoo , conditioner or bodywash bottles and laundry detergents containers . Neither of these lists are comprehensive , so be sure to check each container for the recycling logo and the codes PET or PETE for Type 1 and PEHD or HDPE for Type 2 . If the container has any of these codes , it is recyclable . If it does not , then it is not recyclable .
