Allentown
businesses and non-profit organizations that generate small quantities
of trash and recyclables are eligible for City curbside trash
& recycling collection. The annual fee of $223 includes:
- Twice a week collection of trash, up to ten 30 gallon bags
per week, and
- Once a week curbside recycling collection of bottles and
cans, newspapers and mixed office paper.
Corrugated
cardboard must be recycled separately from City Collection.
You can take
it to the Allentown Recycling Drop Off Center at Martin Luther
King, Jr. Drive and 15th Street (open Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m.
to 12:00 p.m.) or contract for collection.
Participation
in this program is optional. However, if you are not in City collection
you must contract with a licensed trash and recycling hauler and
comply with the City's mandatory recycling requirements. Anyone
using City curbside collection is liable for payment for the service.
You can begin
service any time with 30 days notice to the City. The annual service
fee is billed February 1 payable to the City April 1. Payments
for less than a year's service are prorated, however, service
for less than a month is billed for the whole month. Do
not send payment now. You will receive a bill from the City.
