Frequently Asked Questions

Trash and recycling information can be found online. If you have any questions, please call 610-363-9450.

The trash hauler will not take cans of wet paint. Latex paint is not a hazardous waste which means it can be put out with your regular trash after it has been solidified.  This can be accomplished by simply removing the lid and allowing it to harden, mixing it with sawdust, kitty litter or rags.  Do not replace the lid so the hauler knows all liquid has been absorbed.

Find information on our Sewer & Trash Billing page. If you have questions about your bill, email utilitybilling@uwchlan.com or phone 610 363 9450.
