Many Butler Township residents continue to take advantage of the recycling of electronics and hazardous household waste.
Butler Township Manager Tom Knights recently provided Township Commissioners with an update about collection by Waste Management in the first quarter of 2024.
According to the current figures, nearly 7,000 pounds of hazardous household and e-waste was collected from 62 households during January, February, and March- including nearly 5,000 pounds of televisions, nearly 300 pounds of electronics, and over 500 pounds of latex paint.
Items like tires, pharmaceuticals, and asbestos cannot be collected. Glass recycling continues to be available at the Butler Township building.
