Residential Refuse and Recycle
Municipal Waste: Trash collection service is necessary for every residential dwelling unit (including individual apartments). It is your responsibility, as a home-owner and/or resident, to contact the Township's contracted waste hauler to initiate an active service account. All residential trash and recycling will be collected curbside by the Township's designated hauler. The current designated hauler is Waste Management (800) 593-9529. Extra trash tags are available at the Township building for $5.25 each.
Should you have electronics, such as TV's and computer components, there will be an Electronic Waste Recycling Collection held at the Township building semi-annually. You can no longer dispose of these items in your trash. Bulk pick-up must be arranged by calling Waste Management.
