One Mailing Across Township You May Not Want To Trash

A Saturday mailing includes Lower Pottsgrove's trash collection calendar for next year

Mascaro's postcard

NORRISTOWN PA – Although little has changed in what, how, when or where garbage and recyclables are collected in Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township, under its new trash hauling contract with J.P. Mascaro and Sons of Audubon PA, the company paid to print and mail on Saturday (Dec. 17, 2011) glossy, full-color postcards to township residents that describe what it called “important information” about its services.

What may be most important to property owners, according to township Manager Rodney Hawthorne, is that they’ll pay less for collection during 2012. The deal with Mascaro reduces annual collection costs next year by $17, compared to 2011.

The contract renewal – Mascaro did the work for the past five years as well – is not mentioned in the postcard. It does, however, supply a full-year calendar (above) of pick-up days (all Mondays, with three holiday exceptions) and yard waste collections (highlighted by an orange-colored leaf).

It also addresses when items may and may not be placed at the curb, how to contact Mascaro for bulk item pick-ups, and how its single-stream recycling program operates. Much of the same information is found on the township website, here. The mailed piece in its entirety also can be found at the website, here.

    A difference, according to the mailing, is that last year they did not recycle cardboard, and now they seem to.
