Trash Collection & Recycling

County Hauling

 

 

 

Each weekly trash pickup will have a limit of no more than five (5) bags of trash.

Bags must be securely tied at the top for collection with a capacity no smaller than ten (10) gallons and not to exceed thirty-five (35) gallons.

If you are over the five (5) bag limit, you must call County Hauling before 3:00 PM the day before your scheduled pickup day to prepay for additional bags. This fee will be $2.00 per additional bag. You can prepay for additional bags by calling County Hauling at (724) 929-7694.

Trash pickups occur between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

Please ensure that trash is set out prior to 6:00 AM or the night before your scheduled trash pickup day.

 

The Sewickley Township Supervisors approved a four-year refuse hauling contract with County Hauling beginning January 1, 2023.

Household Hazardous Waste

Managing Household Hazardous Waste

The best method of managing Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is to prevent its generation in the first place. This involves selecting the least toxic item “to do the job” and buying only the minimum amounts necessary. Buying in large quantities is not a bargain if half of it has to be discarded. In the future, please consider buying environmentally friendly products.

Did You Know? Latex paint is not a hazardous waste. It can often be donated to community groups and other organizations for re-use. Please consider this option before disposal. Used motor oil is not hazardous, but may pollute our groundwater, waterways and soil if not properly managed. Many automotive station, auto parts and supply stores will accept used motor oil for recycling. Automotive batteries may be exchanged at the place of purchase. Many battery retailers offer recycling even if you are not purchasing a new battery. In some cases, there may be a charge. Some scrap yards will also purchase lead acid batteries. For more information on HHW, visit DEP at www.dep.pa.gov or at www.pa.gov
