Council reviews refuse contract draft; residents report missed recycling pickups
Summary
Council received a draft refuse contract using Shrewsbury Township and discussed advertising it at the work session. Residents reported two weeks of missed recycling pickup by Penn Waste after a rate increase; staff had contacted Penn Waste.
Municipal services staff circulated a draft refuse contract that would use Shrewsbury Township for service; councilors agreed the contract should be advertised at the next work session for further consideration.
Separately, residents reported that Penn Waste had not collected recycling for two weeks following a rate increase. Shauntia Phillips told council staff she had called Penn Waste with no response; borough staff reported making two calls to the hauler and said Penn Waste would be in touch. Council noted that including totes in the new contract could help prevent missed collections.
No contract award occurred at the meeting; the minutes record that advertisement and additional review will occur at a future session.
