At a special meeting on 9/22/20, Borough Council awarded our trash contract to Penn Waste for 5 years. Our collection will remain at 2 pickups/week with recycling on Tuesdays & 1 large bulk item pickup on Fridays. Remaining at 2 picksup/week was NOT excessively higher than 1 pickup/week (approx. $4/mo higher), but most Council members believed this option would give our residents the best service, while still offering recycling service.
Please note, your quarterly bill for trash will increase gradually over the next 5 years (beginning December 1, 2020). As with most other utilities, trash collection costs don't seem to decrease and both bidders (Penn Waste & Republic Services) cited labor costs as the largest factor for increasing prices. It's a tough job & it's difficult to find good employees to ride the trash truck, hauling trash all day. Thank you for your understanding!
