Many Butler Township residents continue to take advantage of the recycling of electronics and hazardous household waste.
Butler Township Manager Tom Knights provided Township Commissioners with the latest update about collection by Waste Management in the fourth quarter of 2023.
According to the recent figures, nearly 9,000 pounds of hazardous household and e-waste was collected from 76 households during October, November, and December- including nearly 6,000 pounds of televisions, about 1,000 pounds of electronics including computers and monitors, and nearly 600 pounds of latex paint.
Items like tires, pharmaceuticals, and asbestos cannot be collected. Glass recycling continues to be available at the Butler Township building.
