Recycling in Milton: A Local Guide
Milton, Pennsylvania — the Union County borough on the West Branch Susquehanna River — offers residents three distinct recycling options within a short distance of each other. Each serves a different purpose, so knowing which one fits your material before you load the car can save a wasted trip.
The Huf Recycling Center at 272 Willow Street and the adjacent HandUp Foundation at 262 Willow Street are run by the same nonprofit organization and focus on electronics and appliances. Both are open Monday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Batteries, cables and old phones are taken free; fees apply to larger items — $5 for computers and small appliances, $8 for washers and dryers, $15–$30 for flat-screen TVs, and $20 for refrigerators. CRT televisions, computer monitors, glass and paint are no longer accepted at either location.
For cardboard, plastics and glass, the Milton Borough Recycling drop-off at 184 Race Street is the right destination. It accepts corrugated cardboard, cereal and detergent boxes, plastics coded #1 and #2, clean rinsed green glass (no broken glass or PVC), and aluminum cans. White goods such as washers, dryers and stoves can be dropped here as well with a sticker purchase. The site is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Entry requires a borough-issued magnetic sticker; Milton residents register free at the Borough Office at 2 Filbert Street, while non-residents pay $50 annually. Non-resident permits are deactivated each fiscal year, so annual renewal is required.
Curbside recycling pickup for registered Milton Borough households runs on the first Thursday of each month. Commercial and institutional properties in Milton must establish source-separation systems and submit an annual recycling report to the Borough within 30 days of year-end.
Nearby communities in Union and Northumberland Counties with additional recycling resources include Lewisburg, Sunbury, New Columbia and Williamsport. For state-level recycling guidance, visit the Pennsylvania recycling directory.
