The Borough of East Washington provides residents with a more convenient location to recycle glass. The glass dumpster is available at the Public Works Salt lot off of East Beau Street from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Sunday. East Washington residents may place the recyclable glass into the dumpster or for those who find it difficult to place the glass in the dumpster can put the glass in the designated totes located next to the dumpster.
The map below illustrates where the dumpster is located, and the best way to access it.
Please observe the following rules to ensure the Borough is compliant:
- Glass containers must be rinsed of any perishable debris before being recycled.
- Adhesive labels do not need to be removed from the glass before being recycled.
- Plastic, cork, and bi-metal container lids must be removed before glass being recycled.
- Glass products such as mirrors, porcelain dishware, and light bulbs WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
- Materials such as plastic, cardboard, and metal(s) WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
- Please be mindful of the residents who live near the lot and only drop off the glass during designated hours.
For any questions or concerns regarding the glass recycling initiative please contact the Borough office by phone at 724-222-2929 or via email to borocouncil@eastwash.com.
