Recycling Center
Upper Tulpehocken Township residents and non-residents that would like to participate in the UTT Recycling Program are asked to complete the Recycling Application to obtain a key fob for entrance into the recycling center. Township resident annual fee is $25. Berks County resident annual fee is $40. Non- Berks County residents annual fee is $50. The fee is for a calendar year, with all fobs renewed January 1.
Renewal and new payments may be made online via the link at the bottom of this page.
PLEASE NOTE: If the ID number on the back of your key fob is illegible, or you are applying for a new key fob, please enter zeroes as a place holder in that field when paying online.
Please remember: Place items in designated bins. It is never appropriate to leave recyclables or any type of trash outside the drop-off containers. This ongoing practice creates added Township expenses. If the bin is full, please take your recyclables back home with you and contact the municipal office.
