Trash & Recycling

Trash & Recycling pick up is every Thursday*. Collection is done by A.J. Blosenski, Inc.  Collection is limited to what will fit inside the Borough-provided toters. (The recycling toter has a yellow lid, the trash toter has a black lid.)  To avoid missed pick-ups, please put toters out the night prior.   AJB will not return for trash/recycling placed out late. Hold until the following week.

To report a missed trash and/or recycling pick up, please email info@downingtown.org or call 610-269-0344, ext. 200.  The hauler may experience delays, especially on bulk trash day, so we ask that you report missed pickups after 5pm the day of collection and before noon the day after collection.  When leaving a message or sending an email, please include your name, street address and contact number or email.
