2026 Inclement Weather Schedule:

In 2026, if a collection day is cancelled due to inclement weather, the rest of the week will operate on a one-day delay.  For example:  If Tuesday is cancelled because of snow, Tuesday’s trash and recycling will move to Wednesday, Wednesday’s yard waste will move to Thursday, Thursday’s trash will move to Friday, and Friday’s trash will move to Saturday.  

Inclement Weather Example Schedule:

  • If the Cancelled Day is a Tuesday, then…
    • …Tuesday trash & recycling ⇒ Wednesday
    • …Wednesday yard waste ⇒ Thursday
    • …Thursday trash ⇒ Friday
    • …Friday trash ⇒ Saturday

 

Yard Waste                 

Bulk Trash

  • In 2026, bulk trash collection will take place every Monday and Tuesday.  Limit two items per household per week.
    • Bulk trash will be collected with your regular Monday or Tuesday trash pickup: 
      • If you are on the Monday/Thursday schedule, your bulk will be picked up on Mondays.
      • If you are on the Tuesday/Friday schedule, your bulk will be picked up on Tuesdays.

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.
