Norristown now provides single-stream recycling, which means all of these materials can be placed in the same recycling bin:

Metals: Aluminum cans (beer and soda), aluminum foil and foil plates, metal lids and metal cans.

Glass: glass bottles and jars (food and drink only).

Plastic containers: Bottles and containers labeled #1 through #7 (soda, water, milk, juice, liquor, shampoo, detergent, condiments, salad dressing, yogurt, margarine).

Mixed paper and cardboard: newspaper, magazines, catalogues, junk mail, envelopes, file folders, corrugated boxes, cereal boxes, gift boxes, paper bags, and phone books.

You can use any container for a recycle bin. Just place a recycle sticker on an old trash can or other container. Stickers are available at Municipal Hall, 235 East Airy Street; or call 610-272-8080.

Recycle bins are still available at Municipal Hall at the first floor reception desk.

Your recycling gets picked up the same day as your trash.

Recycling will reduce the amount of trash you place out for pick up!

Recycling is the right thing for the environment and Norristown.

Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact the Municipal Code Enforcement Office at 610-270-0441.
