Beginning in January, there will only be one “Blue Bin” at the township building, and it will only accept cardboard and clean paper items. The Lawrence County Recycling Dept. had to make changes due to not being able to contract for the plastics and tin can recycling removal. This was due to too much contamination in the bins and lack of a contractor to haul the items.
The Township will supply Valley Waste recycling “red” bins as long as those using them only put recycling products in is. Abuse of the bins will cause them to be removed.
The 2023 Perry Township Annual Clean-up Day is April 29, 2023
There will be a $10.00 fee for each load: Pick-Up or Automobile. For any load larger than a pick-up or automobile, a fee of $50.00 per load will be charged. No extra large trucks or tractor trailers will be received.
There will be two collection sites: the parking lots of the Perry Township Municipal Building and the Wurtemburg Perry Twp. Volunteer Fire Department.
Items not accepted: tires, batteries, paint, oil products, and anything containing freon. Items should be brought to the sites on the day of collection and not prior to the collection day. The Supervisors are asking residents to please utilize this day to dispose of your junk/trash properly. Residents are also reminded that there are recycling bins located at the municipal building.
ALL RESIDENTS ARE REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE TO HAVE A 911 ADDRESS SIGN
