November 28 2023

Gettysburg has partnered with family owned Best Trash, formerly Residential Recycling and Refuse Trash Service (RRRTX).

Wednesday: Trash and Recycling

Saturday: Trash and Heavy Trash

Please have bins out by 7;00 a.m.
Recyclables can be placed out in containers that are clearly identified with a recycling emblem. Please contact our office if you need a recycling sticker to identify your containers.
If you need to bag your recyclables, we do require 100% transparent recycling bags for safety purposes.
On windy days, place your light weight recyclables in 100% transparent recycling bags and set it in the recycling bin (this prevents items from blowing out and across the yard and street)
