Recyclables no longer picked up by the Twp here. Too much hand sorting at the curb by the driver (they pull a compartmented trailer)
They want to be safe since they know the virus can live on surfaces. There are a few nearby lots with drop off sort-containers residents must utilize.
Trash pickup is going well, but with a few changes. Bags must be securely sealed, No plastic shopping bags being used as (outside) trash bags ( do people really try this? )
And no bags outside of cans will be collected. This is to keep the bags from opening, and to keep neighbors and workers from encountering contaminated trash.
