Recycling not only works, but is mandatory for all residents in accordance with the PA Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101 of 1988). Paper products and cans can be dropped off to assist our local Boy Scout Troop at the Economy Borough Road Department Garage. Glass, plastics and cans are picked up by our refuse collector twice a month. We wish to thank everyone for their cooperation.
PAPER & CANS
Some things just seem to go together and, in Economy Borough, Boy
Scout Troop 414 and recycling have become synonymous. For
a number of years the troop has been conducting recycling in front of
the Economy Borough Road Department Garage. It is used by the
scout troop to help purchase merit badges and offset the costs of many
other scout activities.
From 9 AM until Noon on the 2nd Saturday of each month, the
troop is available to take newspapers (without glossy inserts) tied
with twine or in brown paper bags, as well as aluminum and bi-metal
cans. In addition, newspapers can be placed in the large bin at
anytime.
An Abitibi Paper Retrieval box is also located in front of the Road
Department Garage for drop-off of paper products. ALL paper products
(including magazines and glossy inserts) can be placed in the Abitibi
box. The proceeds from this box also support the scout troop
If you are not recycling your newspapers or currently recycling your cans at home, you're encouraged to help Troop 414 by bringing those items to the Road Department Garage. The Boy Scouts and Economy Borough appreciate your support.
PLASTICS, Glass & CANS
Glass, plastics and cans are picked up by our refuse collector twice
a month, depending on the trash pick-up days. Current recyclables
are: #1 & #2 plastic containers; glass beverage & food jars;
food & beverage cans, aluminum pie plates & clean foil.
Plastic tops & metal can lids should be removed & discarded.
Food particles should be rinsed to avoid odor & insect problems.
Recyclables can be co-mingled and will be separated at the collection
center. If you have not already received one, please see the Borough
Secretary at the Economy Borough Municipal Building to receive a recycle
bin
