All new residents are asked to stop in at the Township office to pick up their recycling bin and the flyer explaing what is and what is not recyclable. Your recycling is suggested to be put out at curbside every Thursday night for Friday pickup. Anyone living along the major arteries: Rt. 422, Rt. 662 and Rt. 562 pick up will be done between the hours of 4 AM and 6AM. All other streets will be picked up after 6AM. If the recycling company mistakenly misses your recycling, please call the Township office so we can contact the contractor.
Recycling Bins cost $12.50.
Commercial establishments should contact their trash hauler to make arrangements for recycling. Amity Township Ordinance 91-127, section 1, paragraph 8 stipulates that commercial establishments submit annual written reports indicating the number of tons recycled each year in the Township by January 31.
