Special/Bulk Trash Collections

The Public Works Department offers a special collection on the first and third Wednesday of every month

You can schedule a special/bulk item collection by calling 215-885-0700 or emailing mgans@jenkintownboro.com and providing your address, item(s) to be collected and contact information (i.e. phone/email).  Payment can be made by
mailing a check to Borough Hall at 700 Summit Avenue, Jenkintown, PA 19046, placing payment (cash or check) in the after-hours mail slot in the front door of Borough Hall, or handing it to the clerk. Payments can also be made over the phone by credit card;
however, a service fee will be applied by the card service company which may make this method less favorable.

There is no maximum number of items that can be collected per residence; however, this service is not available for full house clean-outs. The fee varies depending upon the items collected.  The fee is non-refundable, and only those items that are on the list will
be collected.  Payment for a special collection must be made no later than 3:00 PM the Tuesday before the collection.  Call or visit Borough Hall at your convenience for more information.

Televisions & Computers:  Pennsylvania state law requires that televisions, computers, and monitors be recycled and prohibits disposal as trash. Montgomery County’s Recycling Department has put together a list of haulers who will either pick up the TV or it can be dropped off to their site for a fee.  Please visit this page at Montgomery County website for more information

Hazardous waste collections are held by Montgomery County.  For further information, visit this page on the Montgomery County website.

The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.  Borough Hall can be reached at 215-885-0700 or please feel free to stop in person.
