County Recycling Info & Events
Regional Household Hazardous Waste Events
In addition to the Montco Household Hazardous Waste events, Montco residents are welcome at the HHW events in Bucks, Chester, and Delaware Counties and Philadelphia at no charge. The links to the other counties’ event web pages are at MontcoPARecycles.org
Residents have almost 30 collection event opportunities for HHW from April through November.
There is no drop off facility for HHW, the County events are the only option.
Tires
-Montgomery County will NOT be holding tire collection events. There are plenty of outlets for tire disposal as tire retailers usually accept used tires for a recycling fee of approximately $3-$5 per tire, see list at https://www.montcopa.org/2021/Tires .
-If a resident has a large number of tires or non-standard tires to dispose of, they should contact our local tire recycling company:
Emanuel Tire of PA
1304 Conshohocken Rd.
Conshohocken, PA 19428
Phone: 610-277-6670

Document Shredding
-Montco does NOT hold countywide document shredding events, but encourages municipalities to sponsor events for your residents.
-These are popular, as almost everyone has files that need to be shredded, and the County cannot provide events to cover all municipalities. There are many local shred vendors that municipalities can hire to offer this service.
-Community shred events that Montco Recycling becomes aware of are listed at this link: Document Shredding | Montgomery County, PA - Official Website (montcopa.org)
