Waste Management
Sellersville Borough contracts with Waste Management for household waste and recycling pick-up services. They can be reached as 1-800-328-1717 for questions regarding recycling and acceptable waste. Sellersville residents are provided twice a week pickup for waste and once a week pickup of recyclables on the 2nd pickup of the week.
Refuse collection begins at 6:00 A.M. in the morning
You may place your refuse at curbside, no earlier than 6:00 P.M. the night before your scheduled collection day. Household waste containers should be between 20-35 gallons and may not exceed 50 pounds in weight when loaded. Multiple containers may be placed out on pickup day. Use only sturdy plastic or metal containers with handles and detachable lids. Do not use cardboard boxes for trash containers as they can become damp and fall apart at the curb. Recyclable materials are picked up on the last pick-up day of the week in your collection cycle. Recyclables should be placed in a recycle bin or a container clearly marked as “Recyclables”. Any wood should be bundled (less than 4 feet in length) with nails removed. Small amounts of construction debris from homes can be placed with household waste. Size and preparation limits still apply.
For large renovations, building contractors should contact Waste Management or another reputable hauler for the removal of debris via commercial collection services.
Broken glass hidden in a can is a constant danger to the collectors. Glass windows or doors must be taped across all areas and on both sides. Please do not put glass or long metal items in plastic bags!
