Trash should be placed out by 6:00 a.m. on your assigned trash day, Thursday or Friday. Penn Waste observes Christmas, New Years, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Those holidays will result in your pickup being delayed by one day that week. The maximum weekly pickup is six "bags" of trash. Each cannot exceed 30 gallons or 60 pounds. You may purchase extra bags at the Shrewsbury Township office for $3.50 each. You can use the bags for grass clippings also. Recycling bins are provided by the township and should be placed curbside with your trash and large item no later than 6:00 a.m. on your collection day. Click here for a list of acceptable items. Bulky collection now comes every week, limited to one item per pickup. Grass clippings are no longer accepted and will not be picked up. This saved our taxpayers a lot of money and we hope you will understand. Learn all about composting. Click here. This year's household hazardous

Nile Virus, mosquitoes AND YOU! YOU can help!! We all need emergency services and emergency services need us. Shrewsbury Township does not have its own fire department
or The township provides them yearly donations from your taxes but... We urge all Shrewsbury Township residents to support these local organization during their fundraising activities throughout each year. These organizations are also in need of volunteers to provide ambulance and fire-fighting services. If being an emergency volunteer is not possible, then please consider volunteering to help in community outreach and fundraising activities. High school students are also welcome, and you will get all the training you need. Contact the organization of your choice today. This year, once again, the township joins with York County to identify breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The bulky pickup would be a good time to dispose of tires and other items that hold water in which mosquitoes can breed. If that is not possible, then make sure all such vessels are periodically emptied, at least every six days. VOTING INFORMATION
