If I have a business and use a commercial trash hauler do I still need to pay for trash and recycling?
These situations are handled on a case by case basis by the Township Manager. If you are a commercial business and are requesting relief from paying for trash and recycling fees you must make the request in writing, and provide copies of your waste hauler bills. Residents may not opt out of the trash program under any circumstances.
