Borough of Bryn Athyn

Helpful information to help you navigate our new trash collection services:

​

• The Trash Company will use different trucks throughout the Borough depending on the day of collection and the amount of waste to be collected.  Please follow the same routine for each pick-up and they will adjust their route or move cans as needed.

• Unless you have prior approval from the Borough, only ONE garbage & recycle tote will be collected per day for a single-family residence.  If you have additional garbage that will not fit in the tote - on occasion, and not as a regular practice, they will pick-up one additional can.

• All recycle material MUST be inside the can.  Cut down or fold all cardboard and place it in the tote, not next to.

• The trucks will have to back-down our narrow residential streets - Orchard, King, Cherry, Marlin, Sycamore, Alden, the Southwest end of Woodland and Rose (similar to recycle pick-up).  All waste will be picked-up from the right side of the vehicle, as they exit the street.

• Totes must be 2-3 feet clear of any obstruction, the the front side of the can facing the street, and lid closed.  This means that the wheels and handle should face toward the house.

• All containers should be placed out the evening prior to collection and should be removed the same day as collection.
