NEW TRASH AND RECYCLING CONTRACT AWARDED
The Board of Supervisors recently awarded a new three (3) year solid waste and recycling contract to Allied
Waste, a division of Republic Services, effective January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016. The new
contract continues to provide for unlimited weekly trash collection and bi-weekly recycling collection. The
new contract is structured to provide price stability to residents over a three year period and offer a service
that is convenient, insures maximum participation and promotes waste reduction.
Weekly collection days changed from Wednesdays to Tuesdays. Residents will be billed a flat
$50.10 per quarter, which constitutes a reduction of $2.10 per quarter from the previous
contract. A senior citizen discount of 10% is available for those eligible
residents who have turned 62 years of age. The new contract also
includes provisions for two consecutive one (1) year options for 2017 and
2018 if the Township elects to exercise these options. Quarterly rates for
those years would be $52.50 and $54.15 respectively.
Recyclables for pickup include bi-metallic and aluminum cans, clear and
colored glass, and plastic containers (HDPE, PET types 1–7). Collection of
newspaper and magazine print will continue to be provided.
Residents and businesses are reminded that it shall be unlawful for any
person to collect and /or transport waste from any residential, public,
commercial, industrial or institutional establishment within the Township without first
obtaining a license to do so. In addition, all households, homeowners, and commercial
and institutional establishments within the Township shall utilize the services of a
licensed collector for disposal of their domestic waste or household waste and shall pay
the charges billed by the licensed collector for such services.
