We have been working with Waste Management over the past couple of weeks. We ask that you pay the billed amount and you will receive a credit on next quarter’s invoice. The quarterly amount going forward should be in the $64.00 range. We will confirm as soon as we know.

Also we would like to remind residents that it is a Township Ordinance to comply with SEC. 10-28. MUNICIPAL COLLECTION PROGRAM.

All collectible municipal waste generated or present within the Township shall be collected, transported, and disposed of by the Township or its Contractor with the exception of industrial, commercial properties and apartment buildings containing five or more units.

This shall include but not be limited to restaurants, hotels, cafes, garden type apartments or condominium complexes, apartment buildings, clubs, wholesale and retail fruit and produce dealers, warehouses, wholesale houses, stores, business places and industrial complexes which shall be responsible and arrange for the collection and disposal of their solid waste at their expense.

The Township held a contract bid for Disposal Services in order keep truck traffic to a minimum and having trash sitting out everyday of the week.. Waste Management was the lowest responsible bidder. As a residential property owner you are required to use the Township’s selected contractor.

Attention Residents,

We have received numerous calls regarding the Waste Management bills for the new year. The contracted increase amount was to be approximately 2 percent. We have a call into Waste Management to see how the new bills were calculated as they reflect a 17% increase.

Last night the Commissioners directed me to tell the residents to hold off on paying their current invoices until we get this matter resolved.

Thank you,

Craig Lloyd
Township Manager

Attention all West Pottsgrove Township citizens. Our fishing rodeo date has been changed to Saturday May 18th. Please adjust your schedules accordingly.

King of Prussia, PA – Westbound U.S. 422 motorists will encounter short-term single lane closures next between Keim Street and the Stowe Interchange in North Coventry Township, Chester County, and Pottstown Borough and West Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County, on Tuesday, September 4, through Saturday, September 8, from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for tree trimming operations, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays may occur.

This operation is part of a project to rebuild 1.2 miles of U.S. 422 from just east of the Schuylkill River bridge to just west of the Montgomery County line.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is reconstructing U.S. 422 on both existing and new alignments; reconfiguring the U.S. 422/Stowe Interchange to a diamond configuration; removing and replacing the existing ramps and culverts; installing new Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment, message boards, cameras, signing, pavement markings, lighting, concrete median barriers, median glare screens and guide rail; upgrading stormwater management facilities and pipes; and constructing and restoring wetlands.

H & K Group, Inc. of Schwenksville, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $35,581,408 improvement project which is financed with 100 percent state funds from Act 89, Pennsylvania’s Transportation Plan. The entire project is scheduled to be completed in late 2020.
