Spring is a great time to declutter, reduce, recycle and get some spring cleaning done. Keep these tips in mind when you are spring cleaning:
- Reduce: Go room-by-room, drawer-by-drawer, closet-by-closet and group the items that you haven’t used in a while. Chances are if you cannot remember the last time you used it, or you forgot that you had it, it is time to pass it on.
- Reuse: Avoid the “throw it away” mentality and think about how the item can be reused. Are there creative uses for the item that you haven’t thought of?
- Recycle: Check out our Recycling page on our website that has links on how to recycle different items.
Reminder: All Montgomery County Residents can schedule curbside and doorstep pickups for electronics and clothing through Retrievr. Scheduling a Retrievr pickup can be done online by visiting their website: webex.retrievr.com. Visit retrievr.com for the complete list of accepted items, fees, and additional program information.
Moving? Cleaning Out?
Weekly trash collection is limited to residential household trash and recycling*. Residents who have excess trash, such as from moving or cleaning out their house, must contact a dumpster service or private hauler. Disposing of a piece of furniture here or there can be accommodated, however larger than this must be approved by the Township and/or disposed of through a private hauler.
*Household refuse must be placed in watertight containers not to exceed 32 gallons capacity and 50lbs. in weight. Large cans with metal lifting bars and/or in excess of 32-gallon capacity will not be collected due to risk of injury.
