In September Borough Council awarded a new Refuse/Recycling contract to the lowest competitive bidder, Whitetail Disposal of Perkiomenville, PA, for a 3-year term with the option for 2 – 1-year extensions for once-a-week collection starting November 1, 2022. The 3-year contract bid price was $1,744,062. With the start of the new contract, the monthly refuse and recycle collection rate per household will increase to $43.75. The Refuse and Recycling industry is experiencing significant inflationary increases in labor, diesel fuel and equipment costs which is reflected in the higher rate cost of refuse and recycle collection.
