Recycling Reporting
Commercial, Industrial & Institutional Recycling Reporting
Businesses, industries, and institutions play an important role in East Cocalico Township's recycling efforts.
Under Pennsylvania's Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101), East Cocalico Township is required to collect and report information each year on recyclable materials generated by commercial, industrial, and institutional establishments within the Township.
Commercial, industrial, and institutional establishments are also required to recycle designated materials in accordance with the Township's Waste and Recycling Ordinance (Ordinance 2004-07, as amended by Ordinance 2018-05).
Do I Need to Submit an Annual Recycling Report?
If all of your recyclables are collected by a licensed, registered waste hauler:
You generally do not need to submit a separate annual recycling report. Your licensed hauler reports the recycling information to the Township.
If some or all of your recyclables are handled by someone other than a licensed, registered waste hauler:
You must report those recycling quantities to the Township. This may include materials taken directly to a recycling facility, collected by a private recycling company, returned to a vendor, or otherwise recycled outside of your regular waste-hauling service.
To collect this information, East Cocalico Township mails a Commercial / Industrial / Institutional Annual Recycling Report to applicable establishments each January.
The information provided helps the Township document the amount of recyclable material recovered within the community and meet Pennsylvania's annual recycling reporting requirements.
