Clean-Up Days Planned This Weekend In Lower Merion

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — Two clean-up events are scheduled this weekend in Lower Merion, giving residents the chance to do summer cleaning.

The township is holding two clean-up days this weekend.

The Lower Merion Transfer Station, 1300 N. Woodbine Ave. in Penn Valley. Saturday and Sunday.

Both events will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Items that can be disposed of during the clean-up weekends are trash, recyclables, household appliances, textiles, plastics, glass, newsprint, aluminum, and hardened latex-based paint.

Televisions, oil-based paints, construction materials, and hazardous waste will not be accepted.

Recyclable materials must be separated from other household trash.

Masks and social distancing are required to enter the transfer station. Township staff will not be available to unload items in order to adhere to distancing requirements and for the safety of residents and township staff.

The Transfer Station is now open during regular hours — 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturdays — and no longer requires appointments.

Recycling and tree brush drop off are at no cost and trash is 10 cents per pound for Lower Merion residents. Proof of residency required.

Bulk/special collection pick up has resumed on Thursdays and will continue with restrictions.

Payment will be by mail only and staff will not enter residents' home to assess items to be collected. Residents are required to send photos of those items to staff for pricing and prepayment.
