Talking Trash in East Goshen Township.. Oh, and recycling too!

There are some changes to our trash and reclycling in East Goshen Township and a rather long letter was sent to our homes. Thankfully, the days will not change this year and recycling will still be picked up the first collection of the week. I had gotten so tired of my husband asking me if tomorrow was trash day, that I acutally wrote a note and left it at the back door telling him when it was! Here's a simplified version, taken from the East Goshen Township Website. Whoever does their site is excellent as I find it to be one of the best township sites around.

I'm going to start with Christmas Tree Pickup, because if I leave it till the bottom, you may not see it. There are two days for pickup, both Wednesdays. 1/12 and 1/19. If you have your tree in a plastic bag, it will need to be removed from the tree.
