the curb by midnight on the day of collection.

Violators are subject to fines ranging from $25.00 to $1,000.00.

of pick-up, phone number, and item(s) to be disposed of.

We will issue an authorized sticker to be placed on the item(s)

indicating a pick-up date. The item(s) can then be placed at your curb

the night before the scheduled pick-up.

Any other household item (couch, cabinet, mattress, box spring, etc.)

can be placed at your curb for pick-up on your regular trash day.

SINGLE STREAM RECYCLING
Residents are requested to participate in Ridley’s Single Stream

Recycling Program. All items listed below may be placed in one,

clearly marked container and placed curbside.

Here are a few helpful hints:

• WEDNESDAY is Recycling Day in Ridley Township

• Recycling MUST be placed at the curb by 7 a.m.

• DO NOT put recycling in plastic bags

Recyclable materials: Cartons, aluminum, and metal cans including

#1,#2,#4,#5,#7 plastic food & beverage containers (caps removed),

phone books, newspapers, magazines, brochures & inserts (no plastic bags),

paperboard boxes (cereal, pasta & tissue), greeting cards, regular & junk mail,

glass bottles & jars, file folders, loose metal jar lids & steel bottle caps, paper

towel rolls, and paperback books. No need to remove paper clips, stamps,

address labels, staples, metal fasteners, cellophane address windows, rubber

bands, spiral bindings or plastic tabs.

Do not place scrap metal, plastic bags, plastic lids & caps, plastic 6-pack

holders, needles or syringes, plastic microwave trays, window panes, mirrors,

ceramics & Pyrex dishware, paint, pesticides, oil & cleansers, stickers or address

label sheets, waxed paper or waxed cardboard, styrofoam or paper to-go

containers, organic material, and food waste or electronic waste (batteries,

cell phones, etc.) out with your recycling.

Latex paint is NOT a hazardous waste.

In order to safely dispose of latex paint, solidify the paint before placing it

out with your trash. Simply take the top off the can and place it outside, away

from children and pets, and allow it to harden.  If the can is very full, place

kitty litter in the can and stir until all the paint is absorbed. Empty, lidless

cans should be placed in a box and put out with your regular trash.
