Penn Township Recycling Requirements
Residential Recycling
Due to the requirements of Act 101 of 1988 Penn Township established a recycling program that now includes curbside collection of commingled recyclables and a Recycling Drop-off Center for the collection of newspaper, cardboard and magazines. To promote recycling the Township implemented a Pay-As-You-Throw program for trash collection. The trash collection program is very simple, you purchase only the number of trash bags that you need.
