Uwchlan Trash & Recycling Program

All trash and recycling must be curbside by 6:00 a.m. on your pick-up day regardless of what time the drivers actually come. It is recommended that you put all trash & recycling out the night before. Please note, trash and recycling should NEVER be placed in the street for pickup.

The cans/bags of household waste must weigh no more than fifty (50) pounds each. Trash should not be dumped loosely into a trash can, as it will spill out if the can falls over. Please make sure to enclose all trash in a sealed bag before placing into the trash can. Trash containers should also have a lid. When preparing your recycling, please rinse all food and drink containers thoroughly and remember LIDS and Caps are NOT recyclable. Please refer to the acceptable and non-acceptable recyclables list. In addition to the household waste, you are allowed one bulk item each week.

The Chester County landfill charges $25 per item (starting on 1/1/2020)  for disposal of mattresses and box springs. Those who place mattresses and/or box springs curbside will see that charge on their trash bill. If you place both a mattress and box spring curbside, the charge will be $50. We strongly encourage people to have the company that sells them a new mattress and box spring take their old one. These companies are usually set up to recycle these. Mattresses are difficult to dispose of in the landfill. They take up a lot of space and are not very compressible. *PLEASE call to schedule a pickup 610-363-9450.
