West Lebanon Township has been a mandated recycling community since the beginning of Act 101 in the late 1980’s. Since then the Township has made provisions for the recycling of aluminum, steel, & bi-metallic cans, clear, brown, & green glass, and plastic bottles via curbside collection by your hauler. The Township has been awarded state recycling grants to fund the recycling program and is one of the top Five recycling communities in Lebanon County.
Recycling Coordinator is available to answer any questions you may have about recycling. This individual is also available to speak to community organizations and classrooms within the Township about the importance of recycling.
