Waste Collection – Trash & Hazardous

Click here for the latest Montgomery County Household Hazardous Waste events flyer.

Tires

-Montgomery County does not hold tire collection events. There are plenty of outlets for tire disposal as tire retailers usually accept used tires for a fee, see list at https://www.montcopa.org/2021/Tires.

-If a resident has a large number of tires or non-standard tires to dispose of, they should contact our local tire recycling company:

Emanuel Tire of PA,

1304 Conshohocken Rd.

Conshohocken, PA 19428

Phone: 610-277-6670

Regional Household Hazardous Waste Events

-In addition to the Montco Household Hazardous Waste events, Montco residents are welcome at the HHW events in Bucks, Chester, and Delaware Counties and Philadelphia at no charge.  The links to the other counties’ event web pages are at MontcoPARecycles.org

-Residents have almost 30 collection event opportunities for HHW from April through November.  There is no drop off facility for HHW, the County events are the only option.

Electronic Waste

-Montgomery County has partnered with Retrievr, a convenient service that comes to your doorstep to pick up your unwanted televisions, computers, cell phones, miscellaneous electronic items and clothing.  Please visit www.retrievr.com for information on pricing and scheduling a pickup.

Retrievr charges a base $12.50 doorstep fee, plus convenience fees for items that are particularly hard to collect or dispose of.

*These fees can vary with your location, but typically include:

• $15 for each microwave
• $38 for each flat TV of any size, for each TV/Computer monitor less than 33 inches that uses a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)
• $105 for each TV/Computer monitor 33 inches or higher that uses a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) , for each wooden cabinet or rear-projection TV of any size
• $55 for each dehumidifier
• $55 for each window air-conditioner
• $55 for each mini refrigerator under 50 lbs

-Drop off options are still listed at https://www.montcopa.org/2019/Televisions

Document Shredding

-Montco does NOT hold countywide document shredding events, but encourages municipalities to sponsor events for your residents.

-These are popular, as almost everyone has files that need to be shredded, and the County cannot provide events to cover all municipalities.  There are many local shred vendors that municipalities can hire to offer this service.

-Community shred events that Montco Recycling becomes aware of are listed at this link: Document Shredding | Montgomery County, PA – Official Website (montcopa.org)
