Due to severe weather conditions, all Penn Waste operations will be operating on a two-hour delay on Wednesday to ensure the safety of our dedicated team members.
Furthermore, as a result of the closure on Tuesday caused by inclement weather, our collection schedule for the remainder of this week will experience a one-day delay. Please note the following adjustments:
Tuesday customers will now be serviced on Wednesday
Wednesday customers will now be serviced on Thursday
Subsequent days will follow suit, with collection extending until Saturday
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. At Penn Waste, the well-being our dedicated crews is our utmost priority.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time.
June 20 marks the first day of SUMMER and along with summer comes a wide variety of picnics and parties. Although you may not have realized it, many of the containers that hold summer’s favorite refreshments are in fact, recyclable.
Be on the lookout for these at your next gathering, making sure to have a designated area for both your trash and recyclables:
Food and beverage cartons
Metal drink cans
Plastic food and beverage containers and bottles (with numbers 1-7 listed on the bottom inside the recycle symbol)
Condiment bottles such as empty ketchup and mustard bottles
Aerosol cans such as empty sunscreen or bug spray cans
Clear, brown, blue, and green glass in the form of food and beverage containers such as condiment jars and drink bottles
Remember, caps and straws should be removed and the recyclables should be rinsed out in order to remove any residue.
Thanks to your conscious effort to recycle, these same items will become:
New Aluminum Cans
New Plastic Bottles
Plastic Buckets & Containers
Plastic Lumber
Paper Towels, Napkins & Tissues
Some other tips to consider during the summer months are to use reusable dishware. This is a green alternative to paper and plastic products. Reusable dishware is a sustainable option at both meal time as well as packing snacks on the go. This will help reduce waste. Also, instead of purchasing water bottles consider using a water filter and refilling reusable bottles. All of these are ways in which you can better the earth both today and every day.

Penn Waste has been South Central PA’s premier choice for recycling services ever since the company was founded 16 years ago. At Penn Waste, our goal is to partner with our neighbors to create a green community together. And it’s working. Penn Waste processed more than 95,000 tons of recyclable material in 2015.
This Earth Day, we want to say a special “thank you” to our friends at Rutter’s, for all they do to promote recycling at each of their 62 stores. Rutter’s was the first convenience store to start a voluntary recycling program in 2008, making recycling bins available for customers, employees and the surrounding community.
For more information on how to recycle, where to recycle and how recycling benefits the planet, visit www.RecycleMorePA.com. We will be giving away Earth Day totes all week. Stop by any of the following Rutter’s to get yours!
