Pennsbury Township is a member of the Southeastern Chester County Refuse Authority (SECCRA), which provides recycling service to township residents. A large container with separate compartments for newspapers and co-mingled metal, plastic and glass is located near the township building. There is also a smaller container for cardboard boxes. Township residents are welcome to bring materials at any time; however, the dumpsters are usually gone Tuesday and Friday mornings to be emptied.
The recycling center operates on the honor system. Because it is unattended, it can be used any time. But also because it is unattended, it is more apt to have things included that are not appropriate. If a load is contaminated with unacceptable material, the WHOLE thing is added to the landfill and cannot be recycled. If you take the time to recycle, please follow directions on what can be recycled and how materials are to be prepared.
