Dumpster Make-over for Newsprint & Paper Products

 

If you utilize the East Rockhill Township Recycling Drop-off Center, you may have noticed our news print collection dumpster has a new look.  Gone is the walk-in news print dumpster where people erroneously left cardboard co-mingled with newspapers and in its place are three of the increasingly familiar Green & Yellow “Paper Retriever” dumpsters.

 

Why the change? Previously we only collected newspaper and paid to rent the dumpster and have it emptied periodically.  Now, with the Abitibi Consolidated paper retriever system we are able to recycle catalogs, magazines, newspapers, junk mail, office paper, fax paper, shredded paper notebooks and folders.   We still do not accept cardboard, phonebooks, cereal boxes, chipboard or milk cartons.

 

You will also notice these green and yellow dumpsters at churches, schools and not-for-profit organizations through-out the community.  Recycling at any of these dumpsters benefits East Rockhill tax payers by increasing our recycling quantities reported to DEP and contributing to the calculation of our recycling performance based grant awards.   Utilizing the dumpsters at the East Rockhill Township Recycling Center has the added benefit of creating additional revenue for the Township to fund its recycling activities because Abitibi Consolidated will pay the Township between $5.00 and $20.00 per ton collected depending on the monthly quantity collected.
