• Any work over $18,900.00 needs to be bided out. This requires potential business to supply their price in a sealed envelope which is not open until a specific time. Once everyone has submitted, we review the bids to make sure they meet all that we require. Once checked, we go with the lowest bid.
• Township issued a bid for trash and recycling service. We asked for bids for multiple options. The pricing was to be based on a five-year contract with an option to extend for two more years. 
• One option the Board of Supervisors selected was to include two toters for each property served. One is for trash and one is for recycling. This is being done to ensure each customer has a proper receptacle for their waste and to cut back on the number of loose bags and trash on the streets.
• The cost of the toters is included in your annual trash fee. You will see that your fee has been adjusted to take into account the new contract.
• The previous fees had remained unchanged for seven years.
