Conshohocken Borough

Commercial Trash and Recycling

Businesses and other commercial institutions must arrange for their own collection of trash and recyclable materials by a reputable and licensed hauler. Businesses and other commercial institutions must participate in a recycling program by separating their recyclable material from their regular trash. The separation and collection of this material as well as an annual report is mandated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Conshohocken Borough.

All businesses and other commercial institutions must recycle, but are not limited to; clear glass, colored glass, aluminum, steel, bimetal cans, plastics (1-6), high grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper and all yard waste.

Smaller Conshohocken Businesses may be able to participate in the Borough's Commercial Trash and Recycling program. Below are our procedures.
