The York County Solid Waste Authority Postpones May 2 Residential Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program The York County Solid Waste Authority has postponed its free residential household hazardous waste (HHW) collection program scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2020 until further notice due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the need to reduce person-to-person contact. Under Governor Wolf’s Stay at Home order, residents should be traveling only for essential services: Ess...ential travel includes things like commuting to an essential job, picking up supplies like groceries and medicine, and checking on family and pets in other households. Residents who would normally bring their household hazardous waste to the Authority’s free Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program may either hold onto their HHW until the pandemic has passed and we are able to reschedule a collection event, or they can dispose of their HHW in their regular garbage. Under state regulation, residential households are exempt from state hazardous waste regulations and may dispose of household hazardous waste in their regular garbage. Because York County uses waste to energy technology to manage municipal solid waste, waste is combusted at a high temperature in enclosed, environmentally controlled combustion units and emissions are managed via advanced emissions technology. The York County Solid Waste Authority facilitates responsible solid waste management through an integrated strategy that emphasizes waste reduction, education, recycling and resource recovery. The Authority is the owner of the York County Resource Recovery Center in Manchester Township; and owns and operates a Recyclable Materials Drop-off Center, a Residential Electronics Recycling Program, a Yard Waste Transfer Facility, an Ash Recycling and Processing Facility and an Education Center.

Effective Monday, March 30th, Penn Waste will be enforcing the following collection mandates in an effort to protect our frontline team members and as a result of having a limited workforce during this COVID-19 pandemic: - All trash must be bagged and tied. If you’re in a municipality that has a mobile cart, all bags must be placed inside your mobile cart. Loose items will be not be collected. - All recyclable materials must be placed inside your recycling container(s), incl...uding your flattened cardboard. Recyclable items left outside of your recycling container will not be collected. - We will enforce the bag and/ or cart limits as designated by your municipality. If you do not know what your limits are, you can check on our website by selecting your municipality on our municipality resource page - https://www.pennwaste.com/for-your-home/municipalities/. - Bulk item and yard waste collection is suspended until further notice. We are doing this so we can continue to focus all our efforts and personnel on trash and recycling collection.

The April 7, 2020 public Council meeting will take place as previously advertised. It will be the only meeting in April. The agenda of the meeting will deal with approving the payment of bills, extending the Declaration of Emergency and discussing any new items created by the Corona Virus Pandemic. Normal business will hopefully be conducted at our May 5th meeting, pending any new restrictions or public safety initiatives by the state or federal government. Borough staff will continue supporting the residents via phone and email. Stay Safe, Dillsburg Borough Council, Mayor and Staff
