RECYCLING DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Millcreek Township
Sees No Changes in
Residential Recycling
with Advanced Disposal
Millcreek Township residents should continue to follow Single-Stream
procedures making recycling easier for curbside collection with Advanced
Disposal. Single-Stream refers to a system in which all recyclables are mixed
together into one bin and placed at the curbside. Advanced Disposal will send
all mixed recycling to be further processed and sorted at a Material Recovery
Facility (MRF) in Buffalo, New York. The following items should be contained
loose within the 65-gallon recycle toter or the 25-gallon recycle bin:
