The Lower Gwynedd Township Board of Supervisors recently awarded Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Inc. a new three-year contract for the collection and disposal of your trash and recyclables. This new contract becomes effective November 1, 2010. There will be several changes to this new contract that WM would like to bring to your attention.
The new quarterly fees for residents utilizing the 96 gallon cart collection services will be $89.88, effective November 1, 2010. This is an 18.5% reduction in your current trash and recycling services. Residents currently using the low volume services, where no trash cart is provided, will be invoiced $44.10 per quarter. The cost per trash bag under the low volume plan is $2.50 per bag. Bulk items (in excess of one per month) will remain at $30.00 and extra yard waste and leaf waste bags (in excess of 8 per pickup) will cost $2.50.
Waste Management's "THINK GREEN REWARDS" program is a community wide, incentive based recycling program where residents within Lower Gwynedd Township are rewarded for every pound of recyclable collected. Think Green Rewards offers you discounts and coupons for entertainment, dining, travel and more. The program features a partnership with "The Entertainment Book" rewards. The Entertainment Book allows rewards to be searched according to zip code, providing national appeal with local flair. Effective November 1, 2010 you will no longer earn RecycleBank Points from recycling pickups.
Your blue RecycleBank recycle cart will be replaced with a Waste Management green and yellow cart. This exchange will occur the week of November 29, 2010. Please leave your empty RecycleBank cart at curbside after your recyclables have been collected. The exchange of the recycle cart may not occur on your actual service day. It may take a few extra days for removal, so please leave it at curbside. You will receive a reminder notification in the weeks to come.
