Bring your outdated phone books to the dumpster located in Fairview Plaza parking lot, Old York Road, New Cumberland. Books can be dropped off any time between May 19 and June 16, 2001. Please do not bring any magazines, catalogs, or books. Do not break glass. Many products used in the home are considered hazardous waste and cannot be disposed of with ordinary refuse.
Examples are pesticides, oven and drain cleaners, pool chemicals, and batteries.
The York County Solid Waste and Refuse Authority conducts an Annual collection of these products in the fall. All items containing freon, such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers must have a sticker from a licensed inspector certifying that the freon has been removed properly.
