Our agreement with Waste Mangement requires that all residences choose either one of the following services:
- Unlimited Service: For up to 10 bags or items per week is $61.14 per quarter.
- Per Bag: Fee is $27.50 for 5 - 33 gallon bags sold at the township building. You MUST notify Waste Management if you choose this option.
Collection of other materials
No automobile parts will be accepted for curbside pickup. For example: mufflers, disk brakes, and exhaust manifolds are hazardous materials and cannot be put out in the trash.
As part of the residential solid waste and recycling contract with Waste Management, you have a convenient new opportunity to dispose of your household generated special materials - safely, easily and responsibly. View the entire program here. --> Collection Program for Special Trash.
Spring / Fall Leaf Pickup - Visit our leaf pickup page for information.
Glass is NOT picked up curbside by Waste Management. We have partnered with Prism Glass Recycling as a drop off location. See details on our recycling page.
Compost Facility Update
Beginning March 1, 2020, Grass Clippings are NO LONGER being
accepted at the Harborcreek Township Compost Facility. The township
has no avenue to dispose of grass clippings and with many being
contaminated with commercial “weed and feed” products, grass
cannot be added to our compost mix. Waste management will accept
bagged grass clippings on regular refuse day. In addition, any leaves
that are dropped off MUST BE removed from plastic bags and bags
must be taken. Limbs, logs or tree stumps larger than 6 inches in
diameter are NOT PERMITTED to be dropped off at the compost site.
