Garbage Collection
Pursuant to the J.P. Mascaro contract, weekly curbside garbage collection will be unlimited. Please place your trash at the curb by 6 PM each Wednesday for collection on Thursday, with the exceptions of holidays listed on the collection calendar.

Please reference the calendar regarding noted holidays, when collection will occur on Friday. The Township does not provide trash cans. If desired, garbage cans can be purchased at a hardware store at the resident's expense.

Each residence may put one (1) bulk item at the curb with their weekly garbage collection. Bulk items include those items too large to fit into a normal garbage can and are further defined as items having the approximate size and weight of a standard-size sofa that can be carried by two (2) men.

• Examples include furniture, porcelain sinks/toilets, mattresses, rolled-up and tied rugs no larger than 3'x6'. Due to a growing problem with bed bugs, all mattresses and box springs must be wrapped with plastic before placement at the curb for collection. Unacceptable materials that will NOT be collected include construction materials, hazardous waste, electronics, tires, yard waste, and grass clippings.

Recycling Collection
Residents will continue to utilize the green recycling containers (or older red or blue containers with the Allen Township logo), which are available at the Township building. Recycling collection will continue on the existing bi-weekly schedule.

While recycling amounts remain unlimited, the most important goal is to avoid contamination of valuable, clean recyclable materials in your recycling bins by not mixing these materials with un-recyclables – which include plastic bags, plastic wrap, straws, and bottle caps. Additionally, please do not recycle these items: Instead, the place into a securely-fastened plastic bag and dispose with your regular garbage.

• Soiled bandages
• Disposable sheets
• Medical gloves
• Adult or baby diapers
• Home-generated medical waste, or materials contaminated with body excrement or secretions.

Please refer to the JP Mascaro & Sons (Allen Township) webpage for further information regarding the curbside collection of your recyclables at JP Mascaro & Sons Allen Township Collection Guidelines. Collection of recycling for the Township will be divided into two (2) collection zones – the North Zone (residences North of Route 329 and ON Route 329) and the South Zone (residences South of Route 329). Residents may also contact the Township Municipal Office to determine their collection zone.
