Red Barn Recycling 1Thank you for recycling! This valuable practice reduces the need for fossil fuel production, mining of minerals, and harvesting of forest trees. Your recycling efforts help fight the risks associated with climate change.

When
Recycling center hours of operation are:
First Saturday of every month from 9:00 – 11:00 AM
Third Wednesday of the month from 7:00 – 8:00 PM in the months from March through October. (No Wed. nights November-February due to winter weather)
Materials are only accepted during these hours when the center is staffed by our volunteers.

Who
Washington Township residents only.

Safety
Please do not enter the Red Barn Recycling Center, our volunteers will help you at the open door.

What to Recycle and Where

Tips
Nothing else please! When in doubt, leave it out. Also, the items need to be clean – please wash them out. The volunteers don’t have the time to sort items. We need you to sort at home to keep the center operating smoothly.

You can check the Berks County Solid Waste website about other items such as electronics and appliances and special collection events at www.countyofberks.com/departments/solid-waste-authority

Thank you for your cooperation and team work, and patience with occasional changes. And a big thank you to our long-term recycling partner, Cougle’s Recycling. We are all working together to assure proper recycling and keep these materials out of the landfills and oceans.
