Container limits
The number of trash containers allowed for each residence is three (3) 32-gallon trash bags or cans per week. Hint: If you use trash bags that hold less than 32-gallons, put the various small bags inside a 32-gallon trash bag; otherwise, small bags will be counted as one of the three bags if left alone. Do not overstuff trash bags or cans. Bags/cans may not weigh more than 30 pounds.
You may put out more than three 32-gallon trash bags or cans. However, each trash container over three must be tagged with a yellow $2 service tag. Tags may be purchased at the Township office. CLICK HERE For The Extra Service Tag Form (in PDF format, requires Free Acrobat Reader). The trash hauler will not pick up extra bags, containers, or other items over the allotted three unless it is tagged. Yard waste bags may not be purchased by mail.
Please Remember. . .Your personal household trash MAY CAUSE an unsanitary situation if it is not packaged correctly. Please use plastic bags inside your trashcans. If you have problems with animals getting into your trash, it is the responsibility of the homeowner to clean up the yard and street. (Using trash cans instead of bags will help eliminate this problem). Likewise, if your recycling bin is too full and it is a windy day, you are responsible for cleaning up items blown out of it. (Flatten all plastic jugs if possible) and if you have an overflow of recyclables, place them in a clear plastic bag and place on top of the green bin.
If your trash is not picked up on your trash day, (assuming that you put it out the night before), please call the Township office the following day to report it. Penn Waste will pick up what has been missed. In some situations, Penn Waste may leave a sticker on a trash item explaining why it has not been picked up.
