On September 17th, 2025, the BOC voted to award a five-year contract to J.P. Mascaro & Sons for the collection, recycling, and disposal of residential solid waste, including single-stream recycling, yard waste, and bulk items.
Key Changes Starting January 1st, 2026:
Trash collection will be on a weekly schedule. Day of collection will be Wednesday.
Recycling will return to a BI-WEEKLY schedule. Day of collection will be Wednesday. First day of collection in 2026 will be JANUARY 14.
Alley collection will be discontinued — all pickups will be curbside (w/exceptions)
One bulk item a month is included. Special pick-ups for excessive amounts of bulk items and/or construction waste will have to be arranged with the hauler. Bulk Pickup will be on the LAST Wednesday of each month.
Public Works will no longer handle yard waste. Yard waste collection will be limited to two months (April & May) in the spring and two months in the fall (October & November). Collection will take place once a week on Wednesday each week of the designated months. Waste MUST be in biodegradable bags. Beginnning in the spring bags will be available at the Township building.
The Township will take on the billing for all trash accounts. The method of collection is currently under discussion. Any residents currently on the DO NOT SERVICE list for non-payment with JP Mascaro will need to settle their accounts before December 31, 2025.
Annual per Unit costs will be $397.80 (~$99.45 per quarter) for solid waste, yard waste, and bulk item collection. These costs will be locked in for the next five (5) years of the new contract (2026-2030)
