At their meeting on 9/25, the Board of Supervisors (BOS) rejected the bids for trash & recycling collection services to begin 1/1/2026. Discussions will continue on the details of the future of the program; the current contract with AJ Blosenski expires at the end of 2025. The Township will likely go out to bid again in 2025, and staff is currently investigating all aspects of bringing the service in-house. It is important to note that, regardless of which option is chosen, all cost models show that resident fees for trash and recycling collection will rise in 2026.
It is the ultimate goal of the Supervisors to provide a trash and recycling collection program that is cost effective, equitable, promotes recycling, provides excellent customer service, and saves landfill space. More information about the costs and details about the various program considerations are available in the memo on pages 12-15 of the August 14 meeting packet.
The Township will continue to notify residents when public discussions are scheduled. If you have questions, please email solidwaste@westwhiteland.org.
