New Rubbish and Recycling Finalized!

Effective August 1, 2026, Fox Glen will move to Steven’s Disposal which is the same company being used by Pittsfield Township.  In order for us to move forward, we had to first early terminate our contract with Waste Management.  They do have a penalty clause of 6 months since our contract ends July 2027, a year from now.  The Board spent the last two months providing evidence of why we should terminate with no penalty.  This was approved and accepted by Waste Management on July 3.

Timeline

July 30 – Waste Management will collect their garbage and recycling bins along with the usual service.

July 30 – Steven’s Disposal will provide to us new garbage and recycling bins.

Week of August 2, the new collection begins.

Pending

We still do not have a date for when the service will be. We were hoping to have it by Friday the 10th.  Once this information is available to us, we will let you know.
