This red tag has been making its way through Mercer County,...
...tagged to any uncollected bins that do not follow...
...recycling guidelines...
To ensure your recycling is picked up (and not tagged "contaminated") on the designated days, please be mindful of WHAT and HOW recycling is placed by the curb.
(Click HERE for additional tips and the 2020 recycling schedule.)
Below is directly from the Lawrence Township website (http://www.lawrencetwp.com/) :
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RECYCLING - If your curbside collection for recycling was not collected because of contamination (items that do not belong in your yellow bucket), kindly remove those items from the recycling bucket for the next collection.
If you would like to drop off your recycling, the Lawrence Township Public Works Department is allowing residents, with proper proof of residency, to drop off their recycling at the Public Works Facility on Fridays from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.(temporary drop off). This temporary drop off is for residents that did not have their bucket collected because of contamination. The facility is located at 240 Bakers Basin Road.
You can contact the Mercer County Improvement Authority with any questions regarding the contamination policy at (609) 278-8086.
Plastic bags in your recycling can is a major problem at the recycling plant. If you place or utilize plastic bags in your curbside recycling bin, they often clog machines at recycling facilities and hinder the recycling process. Place loose acceptable items in your recycling bucket. Please click Here to see list of “Materials Accepted” and “Material not Accepted”.
If you have additional questions, feel free to contact
the Lawrence Township Department of Public Works at (609) 587-1894.
