FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I dispose of leaves, brush, or Christmas trees?
Again, check with your hauler. The Township’s Recycling Ordinance requires haulers to offer at least three yard waste collections per year (one in spring, two in fall). You can also check out the Chester County Solid Waste Authority (CCSWA) website for information on wood and vegetative disposal on site at the Lanchester Landfill.
I have an old lawnmower battery and a broken television. How can I dispose of them?
The Chester County Solid Waste Authority (CCSWA) holds various Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)and E-Waste Events (residential only; no commercial) throughout the year. See the kinds of materials they accept and event dates by visiting their website. The CCSWA no longer collects e-waste at HHW events. Please view the CCSWA website for their up-to-date television disposal policy and for places to recycle other electronics.

Where do I get a recycling bin?
Check with your contracted hauler. For neighborhoods with a Homeowner’s Association (HoA), check with them for contact information for the hauler selected for your neighborhood (Brandywine Preserve, Cambridge Run, Foxbrooke, Knob Hill, Mountainview, Village Greene).
