Curbside Recycling Returns to York County in January 2026
December 2, 2025
York County will resume curbside recycling service beginning the week of January 5, 2026. Some residents have a TFC-branded recycling can from the previous contractor. These cans will need to be replaced before service restarts. The County will collect TFC-branded recycling cans and deliver new York County branded ones during the week of Monday, December 8, 2025.
What You Need to Do:
- If your can has a TFC logo on it place your recycling can at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on Monday, December 8.
- Leave the can at the curb all week (pickup may occur any time Monday through Friday).
- Do not place trash or recyclables in the TFC can.
No Action Needed If:
- You already use a York County recycling can — (no TFC logo on it) you will not receive a replacement and do not need to take any action.
What’s Next
- Curbside recycling resumes the week of January 5, 2026.
- A new pickup schedule will be shared with residents prior to the restart.
- Billing will update automatically—no action is needed on your part.
“We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as we transition back to curbside recycling,” said County Administrator, Mark Bellamy. “This is a big step forward in our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.”
