Since the advent of the “recycling law,” the Mu-

nicipal Waste, Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduc-

tion Act (Act 101) that was enacted in 1988, we have

attained a recycling rate in Bucks County of about 35

percent. The legislation addresses the residential recy-

cling of paper, food and beverage containers (glass,

aluminum, steel and plastic) and many materials gener-

ated in commercial establishments. However, there are

still many products and materials that can be reused

and recycled that are not addressed by the legislation.

The Guide to Recycling in Bucks County was

first published in 1997 during a time when recycling

efforts had attained great success. Curbside recycling

programs were in place and the amount of material

being discarded into the municipal waste stream was

significantly reduced. As a result, many people were

searching for ways to divert even more material from

the waste stream that were not typically part of the

curbside programs. In response to these inquiries, this

guide was developed to provide suggestions that would

aid in the reuse and recycling of many products and

materials. These materials typically require the ‘owners’

to take it upon themselves to locate a facility or pro-

gram that will accept such items for reuse or recycling.

This guide was designed to assist them in doing that.

Now, ten years after the preparation of the first

Guide to Recycling in Bucks County, it is necessary to

update it in order to include new information on where

many products and materials may be taken for reuse or

recycling. Whether measuring by the number of units or

total weight, one waste category in particular has in-

creased at a greater rate than any other --- electronics.

Old computers and their peripherals, televisions, and

cell phones are being disposed of at an alarming rate.

The National Safety Council estimates that by the end

of 2007, Americans will have discarded as many as

500 million computers. Due to the hazardous compo-

nents in many electronics, most notable being lead, old

computers and portable televisions have now become

a regular part of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Re-

gional Household Hazardous Waste Collection Pro-

gram.

Many household materials are considered haz-

ardous and are no longer permitted to be disposed in

the local landfill. Therefore, individuals who chose to

purchase these materials need to accept some of the

responsibility for their proper disposal. Whether it is that

next computer, cell phone, or a non-recyclable helium

tank to fill a bouquet of party balloons, the ultimate dis-

posal of that product should be considered prior to its

purchase. We cannot expect that “they” will provide a

ready means of disposal for a product just because its

owner is ready to dispose of it. There may not always

be a readily available facility to accept our particular

waste.

The Guide to Recycling in Bucks County is de-

signed to provide information and ideas on how and

where to properly recycle, or dispose of, if appropriate,

a variety of materials typically generated from resi-

dences that, at the very least, are reusable or recycla-

ble, but may also have potentially harmful impacts on

the environment if they are simply thrown into the regu-

lar trash.

Introduction

Page 8: Recycling Guide - Doylestown Township · Packing Peanuts 18 Pallets 18 Paper 18 Paint and Related 19 Pesticides 20 ... efforts had attained great success. Curbside recycling ... ways

Included in the guide is information about:

�� what to do with old motor oil and antifreeze

�� what to do with old tires

�� what is the best way to handle “sharps” (syringes) produced in the home?

�� what should I do with my old computer?

�� should I recycle all household batteries?

�� how to properly dispose of old appliances

�� what to do with a variety of other hard to recycle items

It is not expected that this guide will provide the answer

for every possible material that is destined to be dis-

posed of in the residential trash. But it will help in pro-

viding some direction on how to handle many of these

products and materials.

The information will provide you with some specific

ways to recycle materials that may have been consid-

ered nonrecyclable as well as cause the reader to re-

evaluate their current buying habits. A review of this

guide will also show that some items, due to their haz-

ardous characteristics, need to be stored until the next

household hazardous waste collection program. Which

only serves to emphasize the need to buy only what

you need of a product for the job at hand?

Introduction continued

After you have had an opportunity to use the guide, if

you have any questions, or suggestions and comments

for future updates of this booklet, we would like to hear

from you.

“I’m moving and I can’t take this stuff with me.”

There is no site or facility where a resident can take products such as poisons (insecticides, herbicides),

solvents (gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner), oil-based paint, etc. for proper disposal. The company that

we work with at our scheduled Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection days are regulated such

that they are not permitted to accept material transported to their facility by the public. It is suggested

that someone who has HHW, and must get rid of it now, find a friend or relative who is willing to accept

the material for the purpose of using it or storing it until a future collection event. Dates, times and

locations of upcoming collection events may be obtained from the Bucks County Planning Commission

(215-345-3400) or the Bucks County HHW website: www.buckscounty.org (click on “Recycle in Bucks,“

APPENDIX A

When and where you can bring your

materials?

Each event will take place

rain or shine from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

2008 Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Hazardous Waste and Old

Computer Collection Program

Bucks County Board of Commissioners James F. Cawley, Esq., Chairman

Charles H. Martin Diane M. Ellis-Marseglia

What can you bring? As many as three old Computers and up to 25 gallons or 220 pounds of Haz-ardous Products. Read the label! Hazardous Products will have cautionary words on the label. For example: Danger, Warning, or Caution. Other words or phrases that can signal hazardous products include: poisonous, hazardous, com-bustible, flammable, corrosive, volatile, caustic, irritant, explosive, toxic, use with adequate ventilation, or avoid inhaling.

If there are no words indicating it is a hazardous product, it likely isn’t.

Why? Household products containing toxic chemi-cals, like pesticides, oil-based paints, sol-vents, cleaning prod-ucts, weed killers and automotive batteries can be a threat to peo-ple and the environ-ment if improperly dis-carded. Never throw these materials into the trash, as the toxic chemicals may harm sanitation workers, or result in fires in collec-tion vehicles. It is also not safe to pour them into a sink or storm drain as they can end up in the environment polluting the air, water, or soil.

Bring your household hazardous wastes and old Computers to one of the following scheduled events

Bring Pesticides Toxics - Chlordane - Photographic and - DDT Pool Chemicals - Malathion - Paint Remover - Sevin - Weed Killer - Rodent Poison - Mercury - Antifreeze Flammables - CFLs (fluorescent - Oil-based Paint lamps) - Paint Thinner - Spot Removers Household Batteries - Gasoline/Oil - All Button Types - Kerosene - Lithium - Heating Oil - Re-chargeables Caustics Lead-Acid Batteries - Ammonia-Based - All types Cleaners - Household Lye Computers - Drain Cleaner - and computer peripherals Propane Tanks - portable TVs - 20 lbs. or less

Do Not Bring

- LATEX PAINT (it is not toxic – it is water based)* - Appliances (with or without Freon) - Asbestos - Biological Waste - Explosives - Gas Cylinders (Greater than 20 lbs.) - Household Batteries (regular alkaline) - PCBs - Pressurized CFCs (greater than 1 lb.) - Radioactive Waste - Tires

*Remove lid to allow to air dry or mix with absorbent (e.g. kitty litter) until no longer a liquid and discard in plastic trash bag.

This program is a community service of the

Bucks County Board of Commissioners and participating municipalities and is not open to business, industry or institutions.
