The Township has delivered roughly 4,500 recycling totes to households! For those households who would still like to receive a tote, 95-gallon totes are available at the Township building for pick-up. Please email solidwaste@westwhiteland.org to schedule a time to pick up your tote. The dimensions of the 95-gallon tote are: 44.5"H x 27.25" W x 35" D.
Why Use Recycle Totes?
The solid waste industry is moving in a direction where these carts will soon be necessary for the collection of waste, as more trucks are equipped with automated arms compatible with the bins. This increased efficiency, together with enhanced collection staff safety and additional space to store recyclables, makes these carts a win for the community! The more "clean" recycling we collect, the more grant money we can claim, and the more we are able to control costs to the residents.
Partnership With The Recycling Partnership
Thanks to a grant from The Recycling Partnership, West Whiteland Township is providing 5,000 households with large, wheeled recycling totes for their weekly collection. These carts provide additional space for collecting recycling and, importantly, improve both safety and efficiency for the trash and recycling haulers. The first of two delivery phases began the week of June 10.
We value your feedback as we continually look for ways to improve services for our residents and to continue to build upon our very successful recycling program which we rank in the top 10% in the State. West Whiteland Township receives money from Pennsylvania based on the amount of material we recycle. The more we recycle, the more money we get back to keep the trash bag prices down. Please help us continue to make recycling pay!
