Commercial, Industrial, Institutional Annual Recycling

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) administers the requirements of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling, and Waste Reduction Act of 1988 (Act 101). This Act requires East Cocalico Township to gather and report data on "post-consumer" recyclables that are collected and marketed by an commercial facility on an annual basis.

Any Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional facility within East Cocalico Township are required to recycle certain materials in accordance with the Township's Waste and Recycling Ordinance (Ord. 2004-07 amended by Ord. 2018-05).

If you are a commercial, industrial, or institutional facility and you do rely on a licensed registered waste hauler to transport your recyclables..., then your data is already reported.

However, if you do not rely on a licensed registered waste hauler to transport some or all of your recyclables, your recycling data will need to be captured by completing the Commercial / Industrial / Institutional Annual Report that is mailed to you each January.

If you have not received the annual report in January or have any further questions, please contact East Cocalico Township at (717) 336-1720 or email the Recycling Officer, Lisa A. Kashner: click here.

Thank you for your recycling efforts!
