While attending the event, all participants must remain in their vehicles and contain all collection materials in the trunk or bed of vehicle (not the back seat). Materials will be removed from vehicle trunk/bed by event staff. Smoking is not permitted at any time during the event.

Household hazardous waste includes products from the home that are corrosive (drain cleaners or bleach), flammable (gasoline), reactive (pool chemicals) or toxic (pesticides). The HHW Collection Event benefits York County by identifying hazardous waste found in the home and providing an opportunity to manage these materials in a safe and efficient manner.

All York County residents are eligible to take advantage of this event. There is no fee to participate. Business and government entities are not eligible to participate. The program is made possible by funding generated from tipping fees collected at the York County Resource Recovery Center and a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. After collection, a licensed hazardous waste commercial hauler will transport and manage the household hazardous waste recycling as much of the materials as possible.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation proposes replacement of the existing bridge along State Route 4045 (Campground Road) over Dogwood Run in Carroll Township, York County.

The purpose of the project is to address the deteriorating condition of the existing bridge and provide a sustainable crossing along Campground Road over Dogwood Run. The existing bridge was constructed in 1949 and has outlived its useful service life.  The deck is very worn, with exposed aggregate, delaminated areas, and numerous short longitudinal cracks throughout the deck surface. The existing railing does not meet current design standards.

The project will involve the replacement of the existing two span, reinforced concrete slab bridge. The proposed replacement structure is a single-span spread box beam bridge with u-shaped wingwalls. The roadway across the proposed structure will include two 11’ lanes with 4’ shoulders on both sides. Detour, Project Display 1, Project Display 2, Project Display 3.

Carroll Township is currently in the preliminary planning stages for major traffic improvements to the Route 15 and Route 74 corridors.  The Township has been working with PennDOT and York County Planning on the proposed future improvements.  Exhibits have been prepared for the concepts and are being incorporated into the Official Map.  The process of amending the current Official Map will involve public meetings and a public hearing.  Public input is always welcomed and encouraged at these meetings.  A link to the proposed traffic improvement concept exhibits can be found here.
