The District operates two 24-hour Recycling Drop-off Centers. The centers are located in Lizton (map) and Coatesville (map).
A State law prevents the District from locating Recylcing Drop-off Centers in geographical locations where curbside recycling is available through the private sector.
Acceptable Items:
 PAPER: Office paper, construction paper, newspaper, junk mail, magazines, catalogs, corrugated cardboard, telephone books, food boxes.
GLASS: Clear, brown and green glass that held food or beverages.
STEEL: Any food container--it is okay to leave the labels on...
ALUMINUM: Beverage containers only.
PLASTICS: Containers showing a #1 (PETE) or a #2 (HDPE), and added recently, #3 to #7, can be recycled. Styrofoam is excluded.
Important Reminders:
*Staples, paper clips, and rubber bands should be removed from all paper.
*Cardboard should be broken down to conserve space in the bins.
*All food containers should be rinsed and lids removed.
*All recyclables should be loose in the recycling bins--no bagged materials.
*Plastic shopping bags cannot be recycled at the centers even though they show a #2 (HDPE). They can be recycled at Wal-Mart and some grocery stores.
Paper Retriever Program
Paper Retriever bins are located throughout the community. The bins can most often be found near schools and churches in the area. Newspaper, office paper, junk mail, magazines and catalogs are accepted in the Paper Retriever bins and the not-for-profits that host the bins receive funding based on the amount of paper collected.

Aluminum Cans for Education
Aluminum cans are also collected at a number of local schools and churches under the Aluminum Cans for Education program. This program operates in a manner similar to the Paper Retreiver program. For more information or to find a location near your work or home, click here. |
