[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\"\"AMITY USES SINGLE STREAM COLLECTION<\/strong>
\nAll items may be placed in the same container, which must be clearly marked with the universal recycling symbol. \u00a0If you were not issued a Recycling Bin, they are available at the Township building.<\/strong>\u00a0 If your bin is damaged\/broken\/unusable, please bring it to the Township office for a replacement. \u00a0In addition, free stickers are available at the Township Building and may be placed on a bin of your choice. Please be sure to secure your materials so the wind (which seems to blow more often these days) doesn\u2019t take your materials into a neighbor\u2019s yard. If you have a round bin issued by Amity, we have lids for this purpose. We also have roll-out carts available to residents (1 per household). Additional guidance can be found on\u00a0JP Mascaro\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We recommend you place your recycling container(s) at curbside the night before your designated collection day – see schedule here 2026 Calendar Brochure<\/a>.<\/strong> Anyone living along the major arteries: Rt. 422, Rt. 662 or Rt. 562, pick up will be done between the hours of 4:00 am and 6:00 am. All other streets will be picked up after 6:00 am. Holiday Recycling- if a major holiday (New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas Day) falls on a weekday, your collection will be delayed as depicted on the schedule. If the recycling company mistakenly misses your recycling, please call the Township office at 610-953-0016 and leave a message or call JP Mascaro & Sons at 1-800-334-3403. DO NOT PUT BINS IN THE STREET. Going on vacation? \u00a0Missed your pickup day? \u00a0No worries, there is a dumpster at the Township Building (near our gas pumps) where you can place your recyclables. \u00a0There are three compartments \u2013 the lids open from the top. \u00a0Please be sure to use the bin clearly marked for recycling \u2013 the Mascaro Dumpster is for Township office use ONLY.<\/p>\n
