Rye Township sponsors an annual bulk Cleanup for Township Residents each Spring, in early May. This service is only for Township residents as part of their trash collection service. The stub from the most recent trash bill is required as proof of residency or a PA driver’s license. A resident is permitted to bring ONE pick-up truck sized load to the rear of the Township Building for unloading into dumpsters. Four (4) car or truck tires per residence are also permitted. Refrigerators and freezers must have Freon removed. NO hazardous materials are permitted such as turpentine, paint thinners, paint strippers and removers, varnishes, paints, drain cleaners, swimming pool chemicals, weed killers, pesticides, fuel additives, gasoline, kerosene, or anti-freeze. We ask that you separate larger bulk items such as washers, dryers, water heaters, etc., and place them so that they are easily accessible to facilitate unloading of these items into a separate dumpster for scrap iron. See the Calendar of Events for details.
