By Ordinance, Chalfont Borough has a single waste and recycling hauler for all residents. The purpose of this requirement is to reduce the number of large trash trucks traveling Borough streets, and the number of days per week that trash is placed curbside. Because of their special needs, businesses are exempt from this requirement, however, small businesses may opt-in to the contract at residential pricing.
The Borough has awarded a trash contract to the lowest bidder. Advanced Disposal was awarded the bid, but they recently merged with Waste Management and the whole company is now “Waste Management.” Please click here for more merger information. Please note that the Lindenfield Townhome & Condo Association and Pine Creek Condos both contract with a private waste hauler. Therefore, this residential waste collection information is not applicable to residents at those locations. However, the cardboard dumpster at the Borough’s Public Works building located at 500 North Main St. is available to all residents.
