Recycling Information & Schedules

No plastic bags in recycling, this is considered contamination. Recycle material should be placed loosely in the container and the plastic bag either reused, taken back to the retailer or disposed of in the trash container.


Recycling containers are available to Borough residents. Proof of address must be shown before receiving a can. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the DPW Facility is open by appointment only. If you require a can please call 570-562-1413 and a time for you to pick up a can will be scheduled.


Reminder – Please keep recycling separated, Cans, Glass & Plastic one week, Paper & Cardboard the other. Do not place other items in with your recycling. Please rinse out cans, glass and plastic containers and leave the tops off them. Read Article Here
