Richland Township requires every residence and business located in the Township to contract with a licensed Pennsylvania trash hauler for the removal of municipal waste, which includes garbage, refuse, industrial waste and office waste on a schedule of at least once per week. The interior of every structure and the exterior of the property shall be kept free from the accumulation of Municipal Waste. (Ordinance No. 244).
Prior to pickup, waste shall only be stored in leak proof covered containers. Such containers shall be supplied by the owner of the property or the person having control of the property.
Violation of these regulations may result in prosecution with the imposition of fines and/or imprisonment.
Please note that these regulations do not prohibit the use of compost piles as long as the compost piles do not generate offensive odors and as long as the compost piles are secured to prevent animals from spreading the materials from the compost piles around the premises or to adjacent premises.
In May, the Township conducts their annual spring pickup of yard waste, which may include leaves, sticks and tree branches. Branches should not be more than two inches thick and not more than four feet long. Branches should be bundled using string or rope, but not wire. Tree stumps and large branches will not be accepted.
In addition, bagged leaves and bundled branches may be dropped off any time at the Township Municipal Building located at 1328 California Road. They should be dropped off behind the salt shed located behind the Municipal Building. However, drop offs from contractors or waste haulers will not be accepted.
Please note that leaf waste shall be kept separate from all other forms of municipal waste and separate from recyclables. As an alternative, leaf waste may be removed by a private hauler for delivery to a leaf composting facility or to be used for agricultural purposes.
Also, the Township encourages residents to make use of leaf waste for compost, mulch or other agricultural purposes.
Please note that open burning of leaf waste is prohibited.
