Garbage collection is continuing as crews work through challenges caused by icy road conditions and cold weather. Collection crews are working hard to safely collect waste across the municipality.

If your garbage has not been collected on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, please leave it at the curb Friday morning. Thursday’s collection has also been moved to Friday.

Multiple trucks will be out on Friday to complete collection. If your garbage is still not collected on Friday, crews will return on Saturday to finish remaining areas.

We thank HGC for their continued efforts and appreciate residents’ patience and cooperation.

Please be advised that the Township Administration Office and Recreation Office will close at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 24, and will reopen on Monday, January 5, resuming regular business hours.

We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
