Waste Management contract amended to allow one bulky item curbside pickup
Summary
Council was told an extension to the borough's Waste Management contract adds a limited allowance for a single item of residential construction debris per pickup, changing prior volume-based limits.
Borough staff reported a change in the Waste Management contract extension that affects residential bulky-item pickup. Under the amended terms, Waste Management will pick up a single large item of construction or renovation debris (for example, one vanity, one door or one similar item) as part of routine collection, replacing a prior volume threshold.
A staff member said the provision limits bulky service to one item per collection and that residents will not need to call in advance to place that item at the curb. "Now they're just saying 1 item," the staff member reported. Council members asked staff to confirm operational details and how the borough will notify residents of the new limit.
Ending: Staff will confirm the contract language and publicize the one-item curbside allowance and any requirements for placement or timing.
