Julie Gosse, supervisor chairwoman, said the township has had complaints from residents about their trash not being picked up on schedule.

In September 2022, Republic Services halted residential trash collection.

Two trash haulers, A.J. Blosenski and Whitetail Disposal are still collecting trash.
