SEATTLE (Recycling Monster): The Summit Township announced return of curbside recycling, after a gap of almost two years. The curbside pickup services had come to a halt following Mill-Village based service provider Raccoon Refuse going out of business in August 2022.
The residents need to arrange and pay for trash collection. The trash haulers will provide curbside recycling services to residents at an additional charge. Several haulers including Pro Waste Services Inc., B.W. Stroup Disposal and Waste Management currently pick up trash. The customers will be contacted by the haulers with information on pickup schedule and recycling costs. Apartment complexes and mobile home parks are required to provide dumpsters for recycling.
