Recycling Zone Map - a large map with all street names

Pick-ups are every other week. Exceptions to that are weeks with holidays. Each pick-up day is pushed back one day from the day of the holiday to the end of the week. This means there will be Saturday pick-ups on occasion.

Exeter Township has been "curbside recycling" since 1991.  At the onset of the recycling program, residents were required to separate their recyclable materials.  As time went on and the collection contract changed from one hauler to another, commingling of the recyclables became allowed.

If you have any questions regarding the recycling program please contact the Township Office at (610) 779-5660.

The following materials are accepted under the current recycling contract:

  • Clear, brown and green glass
  • Aluminum & bi-metal cans
  • Plastics with the recycle numbers 1-7
  • Newspaper, office paper, magazines, cardboard, cereal/light food boxes without contamination (see brochure at Township office for details.) Cardboard must be cut down to 24" or smaller pieces.

    Current collector is:
    J.P. Mascaro & Sons
    1-800-334-3403


  • BRUSH DEPOSITORY

    The Highway Crew also began accepting and chipping brush deposited by Exeter and St. Lawrence residents and then providing the mulch for pick up. This deposit area is located near the Trout Run Sports Complex off of W. Neversink Road (the former Battle property)  and is for the convenience of Exeter and St. Lawrence residents only.   The brush must be generated on a Township or Borough property and delivered by the property owner or a designee and not a contractor. This depository is not intended and may not be used by landscape contractors of any type and violators will be prosecuted.

    The Depository also accepts Christmas Trees for recycling which are used in making mulch as well.

    The Trout Run Brush Depository is monitored by cameras at all times.  Hours that the facility are open are subject to change.  Call the Township for the current hours.

    Please keep in mind the bi-product (mulch) of chipping the brush is available for Township and Borough resident's use and will be located outside of the gated area.  The mulch can be picked up any time.
