2024 Updates from Recycling/Solid Waste Department
As we start off the new year, the solid waste department office has been busy calendar planning for 2024 and updating our public education/outreach. It’s also that time of year where Counties begin collecting annual recycling reports. We are currently going through the process of updating recycling guides, scheduling events, and fulfilling our reporting requirements to PA DEP.
We are also excited to continue with the week long, drop-off collection events for glass containers in 2024. This program is in partnership with the Pennsylvania Resource Council (PRC) and their Travelling Glass Bin. The dates and locations throughout Lawrence and Mercer County will be announced soon. Start saving your glass bottles, jugs, and jars for recycling!
Here’s a brief summary of what to expect:
- H2R 2024 Event Calendar linked below
- Recycling Guide for Electronics and HHW
- Glass Collection Events for 2024- coming soon
- Municipal Questionnaire for Annual Recycling Reports – coming soon
- Waste Hauler Registration Program – coming soon
Attached is our Hard-to-Recycle (H2R) calendar for 2024. New this year is the addition of books to our list of acceptable items, thanks to a partnership with Friends of the Library in New Castle. Please help spread the word and distribute to those in your community.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
