Wrapping Paper Is Recyclable Many residents ask at this time of year “Is wrapping paper recyclable?" You will be pleased to know that most of it is. Ohio-based recycling company Kimble says “regular and glossy wrapping paper is recyclable unless it has non-paper additives like metallic flakes, colored shapes, glitter and plastics. Foil, metallic and heavily laminated wrapping paper should also be thrown away instead of recycled. Please do not recycle foil, plastic coating, ribbon, bows and glitter. Happy unwrapping! If you have recycling tips you would like to share or questions, please email sustainability@whitpaintownship.org.

Leaf Collection Happening December 28, 29 The final leaf collection of the year will occur on December 28 and 29. Residents living south of Skippack Pike will have their leaf and yard waste collected on Tuesday and those living north of Skippack Pike will have their collection on Wednesday. Please click here for a map of the two collection areas As a reminder, the Township's collection process does not involve vacuum trucks that clean up piles of loose leaves. Leaf piles cause safety issues, clog storm drains and block street sweeping. Thank you for bagging your leaves.   If your pickup is missed, you must call the Township the day of collection at 610-277-2400. This program is not available to private communities.

Thank You For Supporting The Food Drive Thank you for your support of the 26th Annual Lt. Patty Simons Law Enforcement Food Drive. The community's generosity will help our neighbors this season.
