Trash Collection Reminders

September 28, 2021 in CommunityServices

Please Hold Bulk Trash Until Further Notice

Important Trash Collection Notice

There will be a two week shut down of the Marple plant/dump site, which means the Chester and Covanta plants will be the only ones in service. When Chester reaches their daily limit of tonnage, the collection stops. Covanta services both Delaware County and out of state trucks. As a result of these procedures, there will be much longer wait times and delays in service. Based on this situation, the trash hauler is requesting that residents hold their bulk items until this matter is resolved.

As you may be aware, Delaware County will be holding a public hearing on solid waste management at 6:00 p.m. on September 30 in the County Council Public Meeting Room, located in the Government Center (201 W. Front St., Media, PA).

Castaldo; Professor of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Earth System Science and Environmental Engineering Program at The Grove School of Engineering. The panelists will present information and answer questions from the public.

Members of the public are invited to attend in person or watch virtually. Public comment will be accepted in person during the meeting and by email before and during the meeting. Emailed comments will be reviewed by Council and will not be read during the meeting. Emails can be sent immediately to:sustaindelco@co.delaware.pa.us
