If you were caught off-guard by a recent change to recycling pick-ups in Murrysville, you were not alone.
At least nine residents contacted the municipality after their recycling pick-up did not appear to match the 2019 schedule provided by Republic Services and posted to Murrysville.com.
“I learned something in the past week, and that is I did not realize just how important recycling is to people in this community,” Chief Administrator Jim Morrison said.
An updated schedule has been posted to the municipal website.
Republic Services accepts the following items for recycling: plastics with numbers 1 through 7, aluminum/steel/bi-metal cans, clear/amber/green glass, chipboard, junk mail, magazines, catalogs, paperback books, newspapers and newspaper inserts, office paper, phone books, milk or juice cartons with gabled tops, juice/milk boxes and other aseptic containers and corrugated cardboard, which must be cut or flattened to fit in recycling bins.
