Important Change to Recycling
As of January 1, 2021, Republic Services is no longer accepting any
glass with curbside Recycling Collection. Glass has the tendency to
break during collection and contaminates other recyclables with fine
shards of glass. Any contaminated items are forced to be rejected, and
sent to a landfill. To continue recycling glass items, Republic Services
has stationed a large blue dumpster in the parking lot behind the
Edgewood Borough Building, 2 Race Street, for items to be dropped off at
residents' convenience. This bin is located next to the paper collection
bins.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only bring your CLEAN glass recyclables,
without lids, to place in the bin.
