High-intent Allentown guides
Mattress, bulky, HHW, and e-waste — the city rules residents actually search.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
motor oil: Allentown has no permanent HHW site. Take motor oil to Lehigh County HHW collection events — hotline (610) 782-3073. Do not put HHW in trash or the Recycling Drop-off Center.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Allentown electronics including e waste mixed are prohibited curbside and at the Recycling Drop-off Center — use county/municipal e-waste guidance (610-782-3073). Wipe data.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Allentown recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Allentown — Curbside Collection is the official Allentown program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
