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.

Refuse Rates

The quarterly refuse rate is $100.00 effective January 1, 2022. Note that businesses and residents in multifamily dwellings do not receive refuse and recycling services through the Township.

 

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 that is serviced by the township.  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.
