Richland Township

Residents should use trash bags up to 55 gallons in size or cans (rigid plastic container with handles) between 20-35 gallons in size. Container and contents should weigh less than 50 pounds.

• Residents should have their trash out by 7:00 am on their regular collection day. If your properly prepared materials were out by 7:00 am but not picked up, please leave them out until they are serviced.
• Report all missed collections on your service day or before 5:00 pm the next business day by calling MMWA. Each resident has a one business day window to report a missed pick-up.
• Trash bags or containers that contain contamination such as yard waste will not be collected. If you see a yellow sticker, it probably means your materials are improperly prepared.
• Holidays that fall on weekdays cause collection to be delayed one day for that day and the following service days for the rest of that week. MMWA observes the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

The following items are able to be recycled in MMWA member communities. All items should be placed loose into a can (rigid plastic container with handles) up to 45 gallons in size labeled with a recyclables only sticker or the 18 gallon bin. Containers and contents should weigh less than 50 pounds.

• Cans
• Cartons
• Glass bottles and jars
• Paper and cardboard
• Plastic bottles, jugs, and tubs

Richland Township does not currently offer curbside yard waste collection.
