methods for un-acceptable waste, commercial chemicals or household hazardous waste in containers larger than five gallons in size, please contact the
Operations Service Center [phone].
As of January 1, 2019, Peters Township residents will have a
convenient new opportunity to dispose of Household Hazardous
Waste (HHW) – safely, easily, and responsibility. The new
program is called At Your Door Special
Collection, a residential service offered by
Waste Management to provide year-
round collections for HHW. Be on
the lookout for a mailing from
Waste Management which will
detail the process of how to
schedule a HHW pickup.
