Yard Waste

Yard wastes such as branches, trimmings, grass cuttings and leaves may be dumped behind the Township Garage Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM; Saturday from 8 AM until 11AM. This is available to Township Residents Only. (No Commercial).

Dumpster days are provided in the Spring, Summer and Fall (see Township Newsletter for specific dates).

Recycle Services

In early 2009, the residential curbside recycling service in Amherst Township transitioned from the "Blue-Bag" system to an "Automated Green Cart" system. Residents will no longer be required to separate recyclable material, as all recyclables can be co-mingled in the "Green Cart". Allied Waste will provide the green carts. Several new items have been added to the list of recyclable materials. See the "Allied Waste Automated Pick-Up & Recycle Program" brochure and the "Winter 2008 Township Newsletter" for details.
