Park Closures

Except Upland Farms, parks remain closed.

Trash and Recycling

At this time, there are no changes to trash and recycling pickup schedules. As always, be sure to put your Toters curbside the night before collection. Residents are being asked to prepare their trash and recyclables as described below in order to keep hauler personnel safe.

BAG ALL TRASH. For the safety of the hauler personnel, all trash that is placed in your trash Toter must be secured in garbage bags. This will protect the personnel from needing to handle loose articles of trash. Unbagged trash will not be collected.

Your single stream RECYCLABLES should still be placed loose in your recycling Toter. However, excess materials must be bagged or bound: Any recyclables that don’t fit in your Toter must be placed in paper bags. Cardboard boxes must be broken down and bound with twine.

Have masks to spare? The Upper Uwchlan Township Emergency Management Planning Commission is collecting new, unused masks for our Emergency Responders. CONTACT: UUT Emergency Management Coordinator Byron Nickerson, bnickerson@upperuwchlan-pa.gov

Thank you to everyone who donated!
