During these weeks, on your normal trash day, we will take everything that you put out in your regular trash cart plus any additional normal trash placed in store-purchased refuse bags.  Each residence can put out as much normal household trash as they want.  The excess trash is to be placed next to your automated trash cart.  This surplus trash must be in plastic garbage bags and cannot weigh more than 30 lbs. per bag.  Any trash weighing more than 30 lbs. will be left curbside. On clean-out days the following materials will not be accepted:

1. No Large Items – examples: sofas, chairs, cabinets, table and chair sets, mattresses, shelves, exercise equipment, stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, washers, hot water heaters, large metal items, TVs, grills, windows, a/c units, tires, and wheelchairs.  Abington Township has a large item pick-up service. Arrangements can be made at the Abington Township Building, Ardsley Community Center, Alverthorpe Manor and the township Highway Yard. Call 267-536-1038 for additional information or visit www.abington.org/refuse/largeitem_pickup.htm.
2. No E-Waste and Hazardous Waste – examples: circuit cards, cabling, computer monitors, computers, printers, computer peripherals, copiers, fax machines, DVD players, radios, stereos and any other electronic device;  paint, toxic chemicals/materials or unsafe-to-handle items.
