Waste/Recycle


Solid Waste and Garbage Disposal

Conewago Township does not require property owners to use a specific waste hauler. All residents or commercial operations are responsible for contracting their own solid waste disposal.

Recyclable materials can be taken to The York County Solid Waste Authority’s Public Recycle Drop-off Center, located across from the Resource Recovery Center at 2651 Blackbridge Road, Manchester Township, York, Pa.

The following recyclables are accepted at the drop-off center:
 

Aluminum and Steel Cans:

Food/beverage ONLY.  Please, NO paint, aerosol, or chemical cans (put in regular garbage). 

 

Glass--Food and Beverage Containers:

Bottles and jars ONLY.  Any color accepted.  NO ceramics, window or auto glass, light bulbs or drinking glasses, mirrors, porcelain, glass cookware or bakeware.  Rinse containers and remove and dispose of caps and lids.

These include food, beverage or detergent bottles ONLY with the numbers 1 through 7 printed on the container.   Please, NO shopping bags, oil/chemical containers, toys, plastic wrap, utensils or styrofoam, microwave trays or unnumbered plastics.  Rinse containers and remove and dispose of caps and lids.
