Metals:This includes all food and beverage cans made from aluminum or steel. Throw away the lids and rinse out any residue. Do NOT put metal hangers, cooking pots and pans or other scrap metal like foil and pie plates in the bin.

Plastic Bottles: This includes plastic bottles, jars, jugs and anything else with a neck. Throw away the lids and rinse out any residue. All other plastic material is considered trash.

MAGAZINES for the Ronald McDonald House: Support the Ronald McDonald House of Hershey in a brand new way and help our community in the recycling effort too. Save your glossy paper magazines and catalogues, and later drop them off at the West Lampeter Township Municipal Building (rear) day or night (see below).
 
Ronald McDonald House provides free lodging, meals, transportation, and a comforting environment for families and children who are being treated for serious illness or injuries at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital.
