Fall Cleanup Day Set For Oct. 22 In Bristol Township

Bristol Township will host a fall cleanup day and yard waste container sale on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the township municipal complex, 2501 Bath Road.

The cleanup day will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be free disposal of household junk, recyclables and electronics. Proof of residency is required.

The following items can not be dropped off during the cleanup day: construction debris (drywall, tile, shingles, bricks, etc.), tires or hazardous waste, like batteries, motor oil, antifreeze, swimming pool chemicals, turpentine, furniture stripper, household pesticides and drain and oven cleaners.

During the fall cleanup day, residents can get rid of their household trash and purchase a yard waste container at the same time. The heavy-duty, 32-gallon containers are usually $35 but Bristol Township residents can purchase a bin for just $2 that day.

You can also get the yard waste container during the week at the municipal building, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You must show a copy of your tax bill or a photo ID to prove you are a resident.

“The new yard waste containers are enormously popular with our residents,” said Craig Bowen, Bristol Township’s Council President. “However, we understand that our residents work during the day and cannot always make it to our municipal building during normal business hours. This weekend sale will allow us to better serve our residents."
