"Township crews will be on hand to help residents unload," stated Don Cannon, Director of Public Works. "We simply ask that participants provide proof of residency, such as a driver's license, at the time they check in." Non-profit organizations will also have representatives on hand to collect unwanted computers, bicycles, furniture, clothing, and other items that can benefit those less fortunate.

The recycling drop-off center is also open year-round, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at the Complex. Residents who are unable to attend the Fall Cleanup Weekend can take refuse to the Public Works Complex throughout the year and are only charged four cents per pound (with a minimum charge of 80 cents.) Call (610) 667-1952 for more information.

Please note that no household hazardous waste will be accepted at the Fall Cleanup Weekend. The Township will host a Montgomery County Household Hazardous Waste Collection on Saturday, October 20th from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Koegel Public Works Complex.
