Beginning in January, Chartiers Township will be self-performing our community’s residential curbside recycling.  We will still be collecting recyclables beginning the Second Monday of each month and carrying on until we can collect the entire Township.   We will be starting on Monday, January 13^th  and continuing through the Township.  We ask for everyone’s patience as we begin providing this service and learn and establish how long it will take to work through the residential areas of the Township.  We are anticipating 2 days, but please understand that until we work through the process a few months, there will be delays and it may take longer than expected.  We will do our best to meet the 2 day schedule on the map provided, but until we actually perform the tasks, we just don’t know if that is feasible.  To start, anticipate that if you are West of the high school/Arnold Park, plan for Monday, if you are East of the high school/Arnold Park plan for Tuesday. Additionally, since safety and clearing the roads are our Public Works Department’s first priority, if we have snow event, collection will be delayed that week while they tend to the roads. We will try to update residents as our schedule becomes clearer.   

Generally, the recycling rules have stayed the same, but as a refresher here are some core concepts: 

• Recyclables must be in a clearly marked “RECYCLE” receptacle.  It does not have to be the Township standard bin, but it must be marked.
• Recyclables in plastic / garbage bags will NOT be picked up. NO PLASTIC BAGS in the bin or containing recyclables.
• All recyclables can be in the same container
• Keep liquid and food out of your recyclables/ recycling container
• The following are accepted recyclables:
  • Plastic Bottles and Containers
  • Paper
  • Glass Bottles and Containers
  • Flattened Cardboard and Paper
  • Food and Beverage Cans

Thank you for your patience and understanding as the Township forces take on this service to provide you continued service at a savings to our taxpayers.
