TC Recycling LLC announced Friday the opening of the Hutchman Road Convenience Center, a recycling and refuse disposal station on Hutchman Road in Adams Township.

The center, which is now open to the public, accepts trash and hard-to-recycle items. Vogel Disposal Service Inc. said the convenience center is good for occasions in which there is more garbage than a refuse bin can handle, or to get rid of items such as hazardous electronic-waste, oil and latex paint.

Additionally, a recycling container is available at the main entrance for local residents to use at no charge. There, residents can drop off cardboard; HDPE and PET plastics; and aluminum, steel and bi-metal cans.

The center also accepts e-waste, including unbroken televisions and monitors, computers and laptops, printers and computer peripherals; oil; antifreeze; latex paint; and tires, either on or off the rim. Those items must be kept separate from the rest of the load, and additional fees apply.

In terms of regular garbage, the center will accept trash for $75 a ton with a $50 minimum for truck loads, or $4 per bag. The center will not accept hazardous materials such as asbestos, medical waste or radioactive waste, and devices containing Freon must have the Freon removed and the device tagged by a licensed technician.

The center is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
