Pennsylvania Statutes Title 53 P.S. Municipal and Quasi-Municipal Corporations § 4000.1502. Facilities operation and recycling

(1) Two years after the effective date of this act, no person may operate a municipal waste landfill, resource recovery facility or transfer station unless the operator has established at least one drop-off center for the collection and sale of at least three recyclable materials. The three materials shall be chosen from the following: clear glass, colored glass, aluminum, steel and bimetallic cans, high grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper and plastics. The center must be located at the facility or in a place that is easily accessible to persons generating municipal waste that is processed or disposed at the facility. Each drop-off center must contain bins or containers where recyclable materials may be placed and temporarily stored. If the operation of the drop-off center requires attendants, the center shall be open at least eight hours per week, including four hours during evenings or weekends.

(2) Each operator shall, at least 30 days prior to the initiation of the drop-off center program and at least once every six months thereafter, provide public notice of the availability of the drop-off center. The operator shall place an advertisement in a newspaper circulating in the municipality or provide notice in another manner approved by the department.
