Trash cans: The Township does not provide trash containers. The trash hauler does not require the “toter” containers, so any trash container is acceptable.
Recycling containers: The Township will provide one 65-gallon recycling toter per household. The toters are the property of East Goshen Township and should remain with the residence if the property is sold. Each toter is imprinted with a serial number for tracking purposes.
