Q: What Type of products should I not put out for pickup with my trash?
A: Our men work very hard to keep all of our communities as clean and healthy as possible and have children and families of their own when they leave work. So remember if your planning on throwing away something that you don't want to handle, chances are that our employees don't want to handle it either, without the right protective equipment.

Medical Wastes
All Medical wastes such as sharps, bandaged, dressings and chemotherapy treated waste needs to be handled by special care. Please note that if you have had recent radioactive treatments for cancer or leukemia, your bodily fluid also has radiation in it for up to a week. Thus any tissues, toilet paper or personal hygiene products will also be radioactive. PLEASE DO NOT THROW THESE ITEMS AWAY. They must be handled with extreme care and by trained individuals.
The above listed items can be disposed for free by contacting the Buck County Planning Commision's Household Hazardous Waste at 215-345-3400 or by visiting their web site:

Q: I put a large bulk item with my regular trash and your men did not take it when they picked up my trash. Why not?
A: All bulk items must first be scheduled for pickup through the office at 215-675-8000. Many items can not go directly into the regular trash truck, they need to be picked up with a specialty truck. Once the bulk items are scheduled for pickup they then can be scheduled for pickup with your regular trash or at a time when the specialty truck can pick them up.
