Starting In January of 2025, residents who previously had their trash, recycling and yard waste collected on Mondays will now have these items collected on Tuesdays. Monday collection residents should watch their mail for a notice from Republic Services, announcing the service day change. This change will assist our waste hauler with re-balancing and efficiently scheduling their staff for the 2025 service year. Residents who currently are collected on Tuesdays will see no change.

The weekly deadline for the purchase of red tags for oversized item disposal is Friday January 3rd, for items to be picked up with your regular trash during the following week. Disposal of an oversized item requires a red tag which are $4 each and can only be purchased at the township office, Mon-Fri from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm each day.
