Borough Information | Borough of Stratford

Recycling Information:
Due to the recent changes in recycling markets, please note Stratford has updated the boroughs recycling processing facilities are now requiring that each load delivered must not exceed certain levels of contamination.

If the loads collected from Stratford are determined to be contaminated, the Borough can be fined as much as $600.00 per load. Those contaminated loads will then be sent to a trash disposal facility. If we continue to send contaminated loads, our town could be shut down from recycling at the facility. That could create a very serious financial burden for our taxpayers.

WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP THE COST OF RECYCLING DOWN AND ENSURE THAT WE ARE RECYCLING THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PRODUCT.
