Borough of Schwenksville - Trash and Recycling Collection Guidelines

Whitetail Disposal is proud to be the Borough of Schwenskville residential recycling and waste services partner. In order to insure proper pickup, we do ask a few things from you...

Refuse will be collected On Tuesdays. Please be sure to have your Whitetail Provided equipment curbside Monday night forTuesday morning service.

Whitetail Disposal will be delivering 96 Gallon Trash cans and 96 Gallon Recycle cans to Schwenksville Borough residents as Standard Equipment.

Whitetail Disposal will provide smaller equipment for Schwenksville Borough residents. If you would like equipment other than the standard 96 gallon Standard Equipment please let us know by emailing [email protected].

What you may put out We can pick up standard household waste, including food waste, cloth, shrubbery cuttings and broken down boxes as long as it is contained within your specially designed container.• If you have items that do not fit in your container, please call us at least 24 hours prior to your pickup day so that we can make proper arrangements to get these items picked up for you.• Please make sure the container has at least 4 feet of clearance from mailboxes, parked cars, etc., and that the handle is facing your house.• Please make sure your container lid is closed - this will keep any waste from spilling out into the roadway while dumping.• If you recycle, please leave 4 feet of clearance between the waste container and recycling container.

How to put it outMake sure your waste is placed at the curb the night before your collection day.
