Refuse & Recycling

Recycling Disposal Guidelines

The Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act 101 was enacted by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1998. This act mandates that Manheim Township must adopt an ordinance requiring curbside recycling by residents and recycling by businesses, institutions, governments and at community events. By recycling you are helping to protect the environment...thank you!

For what to recycle, please refer to the Big 4 flier:
