From: South Fayette TownshipWM (Waste Management) has mailed a 2024 waste collection guide and calendar to South Fayette residents. The guide also is available on the township website. Information includes the 2024 collection calendar for trash, recycling and bulk items (furniture, appliances, etc.), plus information about service changes.
Automated trash collection will not start until new carts are delivered later this quarter (dates TBA). But the bulk collection monthly schedule starts in January 2024 (refer to calendar). Please note that bulk collection refers to furniture, large appliances and similar items, and it does not include extra quantities of regular trash bags.
The township is working with WM on options for disposing of old garbage cans for residents who do not wish to keep them after the new carts are delivered.
Starting now, you can put glass bottles/containers in your curbside recycling bin. You still can recycle plastics #1 & #2 (except clam-shells), and now you also can recycle tubs (yogurt, etc.) that are marked #5.
The township is working with WM to answer questions and concerns. For more information and ongoing updates, visit our 2024 Trash Service Changes webpage.
