Burn Permits
Permits may be obtained from the township office to burn branches, twigs and other yard waste. Burning of yard waste is permitted any Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday during the months of April, May, October and November. During other months, burning is only permitted the first weekend of the month. The burning of leaves or any recyclable is strictly prohibited.

Recycling Containers
Recyclables are collected by your private trash hauler. However, the Township does provide recycling bins free of charge. Recycling containers are also available for antifreeze and motor oil which may be taken to one of the recycling centers listed on the link below. Stop by the Township Office during regular business hours for either recycling container.

Biodegradable bags are available for purchase in the township office for 35 cents per bag (3/$1.00 or a bundle of 50 for $16.50). Residents may deposit bags of leaves and other yard waste in the container located on the north side of the township building nearest Kulp Road.

CURBSIDE BAGGED LEAF COLLECTION INFORMATION

(2008-2009 Schedule to be determined)

Lower Salford Township has entered into a contract with J. P. Mascaro & Sons for the curbside collection of bagged leaves for residences (excludes apartment complexes).  The township is divided into three zones with each zone having a specified date for collection.  Most areas will be serviced by a trash truck designated for leaf collection only.  In some areas a pick-up truck will be used.  Leaf pick up will be done between 6:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.  It is recommended that the bags be put out the night before your scheduled pick up. Leaves will only be picked up in recyclable bags.  Service complaints should be directed to J.P. Mascaro & Sons at 1-800-444-6272.

Bags are available for purchase at the township office for 35 cents each, 3 for $1.00, and 50 for $16.50.  Bags are also available for purchase at local merchants. 

The Township will continue to have the container available for drop off of yard waste in recyclable bags at the township building during daylight hours on a permanent basis.

Household Hazardous Waste Collection
The Waste System Authority of Eastern Montgomery County conducts four collection days per year. For specific dates, locations and times, please connect to the Waste System Authority website linked below. The first collection time is typically in mid April. Please see link at top of page for this year's locations, dates & times.

What To Do About Paint
Latex (water based) Paint is not a hazardous waste. Allow excess latex paint to air dry or use a commercial waste paint hardener available at hardware and paint stores. When dry, latex paint may be placed in your trash for regular pickup. Oil based paint is a hazardous waste. Save that for one of the special household hazardous collection days.
