1. What do I do with old paint?

The trash hauler will not take cans of wet paint. Mix kitty litter or old shredded newspaper with the wet paint, stir it and let it sit until paint is absorbed by material. Dump the material in a plastic bag, seal it and place in trash can. Place empty paint cans next to trash cans. Make sure that all lids are off so trash hauler can see that there is no wet paint.

2. When can I put out bulk items for trash pickup?

Each resident is permitted one bulk item per week. A bulk item could be a sofa, a chair, mattress and box spring, push lawn mower, one room's worth of carpeting, or appliances. Appliances containing Freon will be collected by appointment only. Please call Eagle Disposal at 717-355-9560 to schedule collection. The Chester County landfill will be charging $20 per item for disposal of mattresses and/or box springs placed for curbside collection. That charge will be on your trash bill. If you place both a mattress and box spring curbside, the charge will be $40. 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.

5. How do I recycle cardboard boxes?

If you want cardboard boxes taken as recycling, flatten all boxes and place along side of your recycling bins. Boxes filled with trash or other items, such as leaves, will not be recycled. If your boxes are very large, you may have to cut them down to a more manageable size.

6. How do I dispose of medication?
