Commercial Trash & Recycling

Trash & Recycling for Commercial, Industrial, Religious, Institutional, Educational Entities

The Perkasie Borough trash and recycling program serves residential customers only. Perkasie Borough does not serve commercial, industrial, institutional, educational or religious entities. Commercial, industrial, institutional, educational and religious entities may not use the Recycling Drop Off Center. 

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania mandates that commercial entities do recycle per PA state guidelines. Perkasie Borough's recycling ordinance states that commercial, municipal and institutional establishments and properties and sponsors or organizers of community activities must contract with a licensed hauler to recycle at least:

  • aluminum cans, corrugated paper (cardboard), and high-grade office paper
  • leaf waste shall also be kept separate for the purpose of composting.

Annually, Perkasie Borough reaches out to commercial, instutional, educational and institutional entities for proof of their recycling contract with a licensed hauler. Haulers report tonnage collected to the Bucks County Municipal Recycling Documentation Program; the information is used to request 904 Recycling Performance grant funds from the PA DEP. 

MULTI-FAMILY UNITS

Multi-family units consisting of 10 or more residential units are considered commercial entities, must use a permitted private hauler to collect trash and recycling, and are exempt from the Borough’s annual trash fee.

Multi-family units consisting of 4 -9 residential units may use a permitted private hauler to collect trash and recycling and, on presentation of such valid contracts to Perkasie Borough, will be exempt from the Borough’s annual trash fee.
