Hanover Township
Curbside Recycling

The MCMUA provides curbside recycling collection service for Hanover residents. Please note a change in recycling collection schedule for 2012. Instead of having recyclables picked up every other Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in three sections of town, pickups will now take place every other Tuesday in the entire town, starting Tuesday, Jan. 10. The last Monday collection in 2011 will be Dec. 12, with the last Wednesday collection this year coming Dec. 28. Collection does not occur on major holidays.

Material Accepted For Curbside Recycling Collection by the MCMUA and Preparation Instructions

For Hanover Township, the MCMUA collects single-stream mixed recyclables. This means that aluminum, glass bottles and jars, steel cans and plastic containers can be mixed with recyclable paper including newspaper, corrugated cardboard, junk mail, office paper, magazines, cartons, etc., for curbside collection. Additionally, none of the newspaper or cardboard needs to be bundled or tied. There is still a 50-pound weight limit on the recycling container put out at curbside for collection by the MCMUA.

Hanover Township also operates a municipal recycling depot where certain recyclables can be dropped off for recycling. Click here to read about the Hanover Township municipal recycling depot.
