Trash & Recycling

TRASH AND RECYCLING

Nockamixon does not provide trash pickup. Residents and businesses must arrange for their own waste services. Most private waste haulers in the area provide recycling services.

RECYCLING AT THE TOWNSHIP
Nockamixon Township currently provides free recycling bins. These large dumpsters are located in the parking lot of the township building and are accessible 24 hours a day.  Nockamixon Township maintains 24-hour surveillance on this area.

  • Cardboard and Paper: The largest container is for cardboard and mixed paper.  Please flatten your cardboard before placing it in the container. Please place your loose paper in a paper bag or box so that it does not blow around the neighborhood.
  • Plastic, Tin and Aluminum: The two middle size bins are for plastic, tin and aluminum.
  • Glass: The smallest bin is for glass.

Please be a good neighbor and ensure we can continue providing this free service, by following a few simple rules of recycling etiquette:

  • Make sure all cardboard boxes are broken down and flattened if empty. Paper must be contained in either cardboard boxes or paper bags so that loose paper does not blow out of the bin.
  • Please DO NOT put plastic bags of any kind, in the recycling bins. It is then considered contaminated and everything in the bin gets thrown into a landfill. Take your glass or plastic out the bags before you place it in the appropriate bins.
  • Don't leave or dump any trash, furniture, TV's, electronics, household goods, clothing or other unwanted items at the recycling area or anywhere on Township property.

We want to continue to provide these services to our residents, but continual abuse and contamination fees may not allow us to do so. Please be respectful and help us by reminding others to be respectful so that we can keep this convenience here for our residents!
