Collection of other materials
No automobile parts will be accepted for curbside pickup (recycling or trash) or using WM’s At Your Door Special Collection®. For example: mufflers, disk brakes, and exhaust manifolds. These items can be brought to a local scrap yard.
As part of the residential solid waste and recycling contract with Waste Management, you have a convenient way to dispose of your household generated special materials - safely, easily and responsibly. View the entire program here. --> Collection Program for Special Trash.
Spring / Fall Leaf Pickup - Visit our leaf pickup page for information.
Recyclables are collected weekly on your regularly scheduled trash collection day. For more information on what is considered acceptable or unacceptable recyclables, read the instruction poster.
Compost Facility Update
Beginning March 1, 2020, Grass Clippings are NO LONGER being
accepted at the Harborcreek Township Compost Facility. The township
has no avenue to dispose of grass clippings and with many being
contaminated with commercial “weed and feed” products, grass
cannot be added to our compost mix. Waste management will accept
bagged grass clippings on regular refuse day. In addition, any leaves
that are dropped off MUST BE removed from plastic bags and bags
must be taken. Limbs, logs or tree stumps larger than 6 inches in
diameter are NOT PERMITTED to be dropped off at the compost site.
