Waste Collection & Recycling
***Upper Salford Township does not regulate Trash Haulers or make suggestions to residents who they should contract with. State Senator Tracy Pennycuick’s office has recently been hearing from constituents about the issues with their trash haulers no longer providing service. Constituents are encouraged to file complaints with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General against their Trash Hauler. The Office of Attorney General has acted before against Trash Haulers who failed to comply with their contracts and failed to provide refunds to consumers who pre-paid for services and did not obtain the service. Below is the link for the consumer complaint form, which can be submitted electronically. The form can also be printed out. If constituents would prefer to submit a paper version, Senator Pennycuick’s office could submit their completed complaint form to the Office of Attorney General. Pages 4 and 5 of the printable version includes more information. https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/submit-a-complaint/consumer-complaint/
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is also aware of this problem and looking into the issue.
Inclusion in this list does not infer that the Township is in any way offering a recommendation or referral of the companies listed.
