Because of its importance to the health and safety of our society, municipal solid waste collection and disposal is deemed an “essential service” in most instances, and so Waste Management’s employees dedicated to collecting and disposing of trash are in the field continuing to perform this critical function. As a result, Waste Management has significantly reduced its “field” work force and is focusing on the performance of essential services during this unprecedented emergency. Waste Management Announces Suspension of Bulk Pick Up Effective 3/30/20īecause of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Federal and State Declarations of Emergency have been issued that recommend non-essential employees shelter in place and work from home when possible to promote social distancing. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19. A calendar related to the pickup schedule is available on the website. Residents are urged to use the curbside leaf pickup provided by Waste Management.

The Compost Facility will remain closed until further notice. The Lower Paxton Township Compost Facility will not open in April like it has in previous years.
