The Delaware Solid Waste Authority will open its Pencader collection site south of Newark on July 9 at 8:30 a.m.
The weekly hazardous waste collection will begin July 15 from 10 a.m-2 p.m. and monthly document shredding will begin August 5 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The center is located at 470 Corporate Blvd, inside the Pencader Business Park.
The site had been in the works for a couple of years after the authority purchased the site to add more options for residents wishing to drop off recyclable items without going to the center in the New Castle area.
This Pencader center will feature single-stream recycling bins, Styrofoam recycling, six-day a week Electronics Recycling, weekly Household Hazardous Waste Collection and monthly paper shredding.
Late last month, following container locations were removed.
- Lantana Square
- -Phillips Park
- Glasgow High School
Yard waste collection remains under the supervision of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. A free yard waste drop-off site continues to operate off Polly Drummond Road in the Pike Creek area.
