Be recycle ready

  • The Township of Armstrong operates a “single-stream” recycling system. This means you can put all your recyclable materials into one bin, making it easier to recycle.
  • Curbside recycling collection occurs every other Friday. Place all recycling at the curb by 7 a.m. on your scheduled collection day.
  • Rinse containers to remove any food and residue.
  • Separate recyclables from garbage.
