Materials to be Recycled

Plastic containers with No. 1 or 2 stamped in triangle on bottom of container: Containers to be rinsed and clean. Paper labels need not be removed. Containers may be crushed.

Food and beverage cans made of aluminum or tin: Cans are to be rinsed and cleaned. Paper labels need not be removed. Cans may be flattened.

Clear, green and brown glass food and beverage containers: Glass containers are to be rinsed, clean and unbroken. Paper labels need not be removed.

Newspapers - Allied Waste picks up newspapers with the regular recycling pick-up. Please place newspapers to be recycled at the curb on your regular recycling day. Please either bundle the newspapers or place them in a paper bag. Do not place newspapers in garbage cans as the recycling personnel neither look inside the cans to check for newspapers nor will they empty the cans.

Paper Recycling Recycling Bins are located at the Veterans Field parking lot on Sardis Road (near the Public Works facility) for recycling newspapers, catalogs, paperback books, hardcover books (hardcover must be removed), junk mail, office paper, and shredded paper. Staples and paper clips do not need to be removed.

Corrugated Cardboard Recycling To dispose of corrugated cardboard, Murrysville residents may dispose of boxes, which must be broken down, in the new cardboard recycling containers. The containers are located at the Veterans Field parking lot near the Public Works facility on Sardis Road. The Municipality thanks Allied Waste for providing this free service to Murrysville
More on recycling...If you prefer, you may take your recyclables directly to a recycling center, in which case you must register with the Municipality and submit an annual report showing your means of recycling and the amounts of materials recycled during the year.

Curbside Leaf Collection Program Allied Waste will conduct five (5) municipal-wide sweeps to collect leaf and yard waste. Residents should place their leaf and yard waste at the curb on the evening before the following dates:

Leaves must be placed in biodegradable leaf bags. Leaves placed in plastic bags or any other container will not be picked up. Please do not place grass clippings, trash, recycling materials, or any other refuse in the biodegradable leaf bags.

Any resident who misses the municipal-wide sweeps or has extra leaves to be picked up may contact Allied Waste at 877-788-9400 (Toll-Free) for separate pick-up of leaves at a cost of $5.00 per bag.

Residents may take leaves to the Pleasant Valley Landfill on Pleasant Valley Road. The Landfill does not charge a fee for the disposal of leaves at their facility. Leaves must be placed in the biodegradable bags. Inside the facility, there is a courtesy dumpster located on the left-hand side, just past the scale.

The Landfill's hours are:
Monday through Friday --5:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Saturday - 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
