Holiday Schedule
General Rule
Holiday delays depend entirely on your chosen private hauler. Most major haulers (Republic Services, Waste Management, Whitetail Disposal) observe standard national holidays and shift collection to the next day.

Always contact your specific service provider directly to confirm how a holiday impacts your neighborhood's route.

Local Tips & Community Info
Get a Few Bucks Back for Your Bottles & Cans in Bucks County!
Did you know you can actually make some money back on certain recyclables right here in our neck of the woods? Pennsylvania has a bottle deposit law for certain beverages. While Warrington Township might not have a dedicated buyback center within its borders, nearby towns and larger chains often do. Keep an eye out for redemption machines at grocery stores or check with local scrap metal yards in the wider Bucks County area. They're often interested in metals like aluminum, which can add up if you're diligent about collecting those cans!
Give Your Old Stuff a New Life: Warrington Township Donation Spots
Before you toss that gently used clothing, furniture, or household goods, think about donating them! It's a fantastic way to help others and keep things out of the landfill. While I don't have a list of specific Warrington Township charities right at my fingertips, Habitat for Humanity ReStores are usually a great bet in the greater Philadelphia area, and they often accept a wide range of items. Also, keep an eye out for local churches or community centers that might run donation drives or have partnerships with thrift stores. A quick search for "thrift stores near Warrington PA" will give you some good options!
Keeping Warrington Township Clean: What to Do About Dumping
Seeing trash illegally dumped is a real bummer for everyone in Warrington Township. While our main trash service handles regular pickups, dealing with illegal dumping is usually handled by the township or county. If you ever spot an issue, the best first step is usually to report it to the Warrington Township Public Works Department. They can guide you on the proper procedure, which might involve taking photos and noting the location. Many communities also organize annual clean-up days, so staying informed through township newsletters or local news can help you get involved in keeping our neighborhoods spick and span!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up trash collection service in Warrington Township?
Warrington Township does not manage trash through municipal taxes. Instead, homeowners and HOAs must contract independently with a private trash hauler licensed by the Pennsylvania DEP. Popular local options include Republic Services, Waste Management, and Whitetail Disposal.
Does the township have a place where I can drop off my yard waste or leaves?
No, the Warrington Township Leaf and Yard Waste Disposal site was permanently closed on November 8, 2022. You must now rely on your private hauler for yard waste removal or bring it to Britton Industries in Telford and pay a minimum $30 fee.
Will my private trash company pick up my old television or computer?
No, due to the 2013 Pennsylvania Covered Device Recycling Act, it is illegal for any trash company to collect electronic waste at the curb. E-waste is banned from landfills, so you must use designated Bucks County recycling events or specialized e-waste pick-up services.
How do I participate in the Warrington Township Adopt-A-Road program?
Community groups can adopt a two-mile stretch of township road by committing to clean it at least four times a year. The Township's Public Works Department provides volunteers with safety vests, plastic trash bags, and 'Litter Crew Ahead' signs. You can find the application on the township website.
