RECYCLING

Mandatory

Recycling

 Shrewsbury Borough Ordinance 1991-1 makes recycling mandatory for residential customers and large commercial/industrial businesses.
There is a fine for violation of not less than $25.00 or more than $600.00 plus costs of prosecution, and if in default of payment thereof, imprisonment for not more than thirty days.
Each continuing day of violation of the ordinance shall constitute a separate offense.

The Borough receives a yearly grant based on the tonnage recycled. This money is applied toward the annual refuse costs.
If you need a recycling bin, please call the Borough Office at 235-4371.
Please use the Maroon Bins as provided by the Borough. Recycling is collected on Fridays.
