►Important note about yard waste

Yard Waste WILL NOT be accepted at  East Penn Sanitation during our Township Clean Up Day.  The Township offers two outlets for such disposal.  We strongly encourage our residents to utilize the Lower Nazareth Township Yard Waste Program or the First Regional Compost Authority (FRCA).  Both programs are described in detail on our "Yard Waste" page.  Click here to view.

Special Instructions: We ask that you make every effort to keep your different materials segregated.  This segregation allow the transfer station to recycle certain goods to help minimize the cost to the Township while maintaining an environmentally conscious approach.

Some tips on preparing your material for disposal/recycling:

• • remove tires from bicycles, gas grills, lawn mowers, etc.
• • separate any plastic and metal parts from toys, household items, etc.
• • remove glass from storm doors and windows
• • clean all wood products of foreign materials (nails, drywall, etc.)

NOTE:  Please bring enough help to unload your vehicle as manpower is limited.  We thank you for your cooperation and look forward to another successful Clean-up Day!
