Waste Hauling in Charlestown Township is handled by private contract. If you live in
a larger community that has a Homeowners’ Association, in some cases your HOA secures the contract for
waste hauling & recycling services for your entire development.
Guidelines:
Mixed Paper
- Newspaper – including inserts, may be placed in a paper grocery bag, rigid container, or bundle with
string into a stack.
- Residential Mixed Paper – place this material in a paper grocery bag, including: junk mail, magazines,
envelopes, catalogues, phone books, cereal boxes, notepaper, etc. It is OKAY to mix with newspaper.
- Corrugated Cardboard – flatten and separate from other paper materials. Cardboard may be bundled with
string.

the following may be mixed together in the same bin:
- Glass–all colors. Rinse, remove lids and rings. Labels are OK.
