The Somerset County Recycling
Program and the Borough of Berlin are pleased to announce that on August 14,
2007, a recycling facility was installed on
At the request of the Berlin
Borough, John Peters, Somerset County Recycling Coordinator, attended their
Council meeting on June 14, 2007. The feasibility of getting a facility was
discussed and a conversation was had about funding. In keeping with Recycling
Program policy, the cost of the building, a grand total of $1375.00, was shared
equally between the County and Berlin Borough.
The recycling facility is an
8’ x 12’ building with 7’ sides. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week
in order to give residents ample opportunity to recycle. Commodities accepted at
the facility include aluminum beverage containers, tin and bi-metal food and
pet food containers, and clear, brown and green glass bottles and jars. All
recyclables should be thoroughly rinsed out. There is no need to remove the
labels; however, lids should be removed from the glass containers.
Any questions on this or any
other recycling issue should be directed to John Peters, 814-445-1571, or by
email at recycling@co.somerset.pa.us.
