When & how
Set the yard waste out on the regular recycling day for the area, in paper bags or loose in a trash can, during the April 6 to October 30 collection window.

Any Upper Darby household in one of the six collection areas with ordinary household trash, recyclables or a small furniture piece to put out.
Cost & conditions
The weekly collection is part of the township trash program, which carries a trash fee and a rebate for eligible residents, so confirm the current terms with Public Works at 610-734-7635.
Arrange it
Find the collection area for the address, put the material on the trash or recycling line before 7 a.m. on that area's day, and bring the containers back in by 6 p.m.
One furniture item is allowed for each trash collection, a mattress and box spring have to be bagged and sealed, and fencing, grills, basketball nets, exercise equipment, clean outs tied to a sale or lease, contractor material, dirt, rocks, concrete, bricks, hazardous waste, drums, tanks, tires, furnaces, boilers and pianos are all refused.
Upper Darby Township collects with its own crews and publishes no township drop-off for bulky items, construction debris or electronics. Small furniture, one mattress and box spring, one television and bagged trash go out with the regular collection on the area's day, large metal appliances go through the bulk pickup form with a charge for each item, and yard waste runs on the recycling day between April 6 and October 30. Construction material, tires and exercise equipment are refused, so those loads need a private hauler or a commercial disposal site arranged by the resident.
