At Village Hall, we are asked frequently about recycling opportunities in Doylestown. We have compiled some information that we hope is useful.

The Village of Doylestown participates in a curbside recycling program with our trash hauler, Republic Waste. This service takes place on the last Friday of the month, as well as two weeks prior to the last Friday of each month. The second recycling date has been added as of April of 2010. We hope this encourages our residents to utilize this program now that the buildup of recyclables will be reduced. The items accepted with this service include: Plastic, Metal and Bi-Metal, Aluminum and Glass. These items can be co-mingled and placed in the Village bins that were provided to all home owners in the Village. If you do not have a bin, please stop up to Village Hall to receive one. Items may also be placed in ordinary grocery store plastic bags. Newspapers are also accepted, however, we ask that they be placed in separate bags to avoid contamination. For more information regarding this program, contact Republic Waste at 1-800-247-3644. Recycle dates are also posted on our Community Calendar on our website.

Other recycling opportunities include recycling bins located at our Street Garage ~ 144 Clinton Road. The bins are located inside the security gates; therefore you must come between the hours of 7:30 am and 3:00 pm weekdays, and from 9:00 am to noon every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. On these Saturdays, the facility is manned by local Girl Scout or Boy Scout Troops and your recyclables will be unloaded for you. The available bins at this location are: Cardboard; Magazines; Glass & Plastic; Tin and Aluminum; and Newspaper.
