TRASH SERVICE RULES 4 BAGS or CANS
Township Commissioners, in an effort to control costs, have approved a new trash service, effective January 1, that changes from unlimited trash collection to a four-bag or four-can limit. It also eliminates yard waste service by the trash/recyclables collector.

Under the new three year contract with Penn Waste of York, the 32 or 36 gallon bags or cans must weigh no more than 60 pounds each. Residents may buy extra orange bags at $ 3.50 a bag if they exceed the four-bag limit. Bags can be purchased at the Township Building or directly from Penn Waste, P.O. Box 3066, York 17402. Bags can also be ordered on the Penn Waste website, www.pennwaste.com
Penn Waste said that because it increased the items that could be recycled beginning last June, less trash has been generated in the Township.
Commissioners said the quarterly trash rate will remain at $ 46.50 a quarter this year. The said four bids were received, and Penn Waste, which serviced the Township under the last contract, was the lowest responsible bidder.

	PENN WASTE of York has been the Townshp’s refuse/recycling hauler since 2004. Based on Township Ordinance trash should not be placed out before 7:00pm the evening before your regularly scheduled pickup day and no later than 6:30am on the day of collection. Penn Waste has agreed to pick up one (1) bulk item a week under our contract. This will replace the spring Clean-up collection that we have had in previous years.

	DUMPING Eliminated at Humer Street Facility The Township has closed its dumping facility at 750 S. Humer St because of state regulations governing the dumping of household material. Residents, however, will be able to dispose of yard waste at the facility beginning in April 2013. Residents are allowed to place one bulk item with their trash each week. Bulk items that are too heavy to be lifted into a truck by two people will not be accepted. Construction debris will not be collected at curbside. Call Penn Waste at 717-767-4456 to schedule collection of appliances containing freon, such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners.

	TRIM LIMBS and BRANCHES Tree Limbs and branches must be at least nine feet above any Township sidewalk and 12 feet above any Township roadway to ensure the safety of walkers, motorists and emergency vehicles. Property owners or occupants must also remove trees, shrubs and plant growth that interfere with safe pedestrian or vehicle passage on sidewalks and streets or obstruct any public street sign or traffic control device. The township also prohibits all outdoor and open burning.
