    Yard Waste Collection Begins
View All

Recycling is important, but it can be complicated

Place all recyclable materials in the BLUE-TOP recycling cart. There is no need to separate different types of recyclable materials. Please empty and rinse all containers.

DO NOT place plastic bags, from the grocery or other stores in your blue recycling cart. If you cannot locate a recycling bin at local stores (try Home Depot, Lowes, Target), flatten bags, squeezing out air and stuff them into a larger bag - tie it securely and place in your GRAY-TOP Trash cart.

Cranberry Township was the first municipality to welcome the project in April 2011. Flags should be retired in a dignified and respectful manner when they are no longer a fit for display and replaced with a new flag.

The Recycle the Good Times program is suspended until further notice (posted: 12/21/2020)

We will lend a recycling rack with bags for recyclables and another rack for the party trash. There is no cost or deposit required, but a driver’s license is required as proof of residency, at the time of pick-up.

  • We suggest one set of recycling racks for every 50 people. A set consists of: (1) trash rack; (1) recycling rack; plus 2 bags for each rack. Pick up from the Customer Service Desk, 724-776-4806, ext. 5. Mon.-Fri., 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. 
  • Return racks within 3 days after your event to the Customer Service Center.
  • Trash disposal is your responsibility. Use the bags furnished with the racks. Each bag that does not fit into your trash bin will require an Extra-Bag-Collection Connection sticker, and may be placed curbside on your regular collection day. Bag stickers may be purchased through Customer Service.
  • Recycling items should be put into the clear ‘recycling’ bags furnished by the Township, and placed curb-side with your trash/recycling bins on your regular collection day.
  • If you are not trash collection customer, please dispose of the bags properly.
