ACT 101
The Township is a curbside recycling mandated community under state law Act 101. Under this Act the Township developed and passed a recycling and trash ordinance in April of 2004 with an updated ordinance in 2008. This ordinance requires all residents and commercial entities to recycle. Multiple haulers provide recycling services in our community, homeowners are responsible for choosing a waste and recycling contractor. Contracted haulers all provide single-stream recycling (all materials can be put in 1 receptacle).

Facts
- Do you know what happens to your recycling once your hauler takes it away? It goes to a single stream processing plant, to be separated and sent out to various companies to make many different products. Therefore it is very important to only put the proper items in your recycling bins.
- Electronics such as laptops, desktops, monitors, televisions, etc., are banned from being placed in a landfill with municipal waste. These electronics must now be recycled at recycling facility. For additional information for residential recycling please visit Chester County Solid Waste Authority (CCSWA).
- Manufacturers of these items are to provide no-cost recycling opportunities for these electronics.
- SECCRA will accept electronics; charges are by weight, $5.00 for up to 140 lbs. weights above are pro-rated at $68 per ton.
- If it is a panel set/flat screen, you may take it to Tom’s TV’s in West Grove Borough but you must call first.
- Consumers will be responsible for taking their electronics to the approved electronics collection location. Residents can bring electronics to Southeastern Chester County Refuse Authority (SECCRA) to dispose of the item(s) for a fee.
