INTRODUCTION
Since the advent of the “recycling law,” the Municipal Waste, Planning, Recycling and Waste
Reduction Act (Act 101) that was enacted in 1988, we have attained a recycling rate in Bucks
County of about 35 percent. The legislation addresses the residential recycling of paper, food
and beverage containers (glass, aluminum, steel and plastic) and many materials generated in
commercial establishments. However, there are still many products and materials that can be
reused and recycled that are not addressed by the legislation.
The Guide to Recycling in Bucks County was first published in 1997 during a time when
recycling efforts had attained great success. Curbside recycling programs were in place and the
amount of material being discarded into the municipal waste stream was significantly reduced.
As a result, many people were searching for ways to divert even more material from the waste
stream that were not typically part of the curbside programs. In response to these inquiries, this
guide was developed to provide suggestions that would aid in the reuse and recycling of many
products and materials. These materials typically require the ‘owners’ to take it upon themselves
to locate a facility or program that will accept such items for reuse or recycling. This guide was
designed to assist them in doing that.
Now, ten years after the preparation of the first Guide to Recycling in Bucks County, it is
necessary to update it in order to include new information on where many products and
materials may be taken for reuse or recycling. Whether measuring by the number of units or
total weight, one waste category in particular has increased at a greater rate than any other—
electronics. Old computers and their peripherals, televisions, and cell phones are being
disposed of at an alarming rate. The National Safety Council estimates that by the end of 2007,
Americans will have discarded as many as 500 million computers. Due to the hazardous
components in many electronics, most notable being lead, old computers and portable
televisions have now become a regular part of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Regional
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program.
Many household materials are considered hazardous and are no longer permitted to be
disposed in the local landfill. Therefore, individuals who chose to purchase these materials need
to accept some of the responsibility for their proper disposal. Whether it is that next computer,
cell phone, or a non-recyclable helium tank to fill a bouquet of party balloons, the ultimate
disposal of that product should be considered prior to its purchase. We cannot expect that “they”
will provide a ready means of disposal for a product just because its owner is ready to dispose
of it. There may not always be a readily available facility to accept our particular waste.
The Guide to Recycling in Bucks County is designed to provide information and ideas on how
and where to properly recycle, or dispose of, if appropriate, a variety of materials typically
generated from residences that, at the very least, are reusable or recyclable, but may also have
potentially harmful impacts on the environment if they are simply thrown into the regular trash.
| Introduction

Included in the guide is information about:







what to do with old motor oil and antifreeze
what to do with old tires
what is the best way to handle “sharps” (syringes) produced in the home
what should I do with my old computer
should I recycle all household batteries
how to properly dispose of old appliances
what to do with a variety of other hard to recycle items
It is not expected that this guide will provide the answer for every possible material that is
destined to be disposed of in the residential trash. But it will help in providing some direction on
how to handle many of these products and materials.
The information will provide you with some specific ways to recycle materials that may have
been considered nonrecyclable as well as cause the reader to reevaluate their current buying
habits. A review of this guide will also show that some items, due to their hazardous
characteristics, need to be stored until the next household hazardous waste collection program.
Which only serves to emphasize the need to buy only what you need of a product for the job at
hand?
After you have had an opportunity to use the guide, if you have any questions, or suggestions
and comments for future updates of this booklet, we would like to hear from you.

“I’m moving and I can’t take this stuff with me.”
There is no site or facility where a resident can take products such as poisons
(insecticides, herbicides), solvents (gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner), oil-based paint,
etc. for proper disposal. The company that we work with at our scheduled Household
Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection days are regulated such that they are not permitted
to accept material transported to their facility by the public. It is suggested that someone
who has HHW, and must get rid of it now, find a friend or relative who is willing to accept
the material for the purpose of using it or storing it until a future collection event. Dates,
times and locations of upcoming collection events may be obtained from the Bucks
County Planning Commission (215-345-3400) or the Bucks County HHW website:
