RECYCLING
Utilizing recycling and trash services for residential pick-up is not a choice, but the
law! Residents are required by Pennsylvania Act 101 of 1998 and Millcreek Township
Ordinance #2006-11 to sign up for both trash and recycling with Waste Management
(1-866-833-1327) upon moving in the Township in order to receive weekly trash/
recycle collection. In addition, Township Ordinances require that recyclables and leaf
waste be separated from municipal waste and disposed of properly. The Millcreek
Township Recycling Department appreciates your cooperation!
The following items should be contained within the blue recycle bin and/or a
33-gallon clear/transparent bag:
FLATTENED CARDBOARD & PAPERBOARD
