Lawrence Park Waste Transition – Update
Lawrence Park Township is transitioning from Pro Waste to Waste Management of Pennsylvania as our residential waste provider.
Mailers Delayed
• Waste Management’s informational mailers went to the printer on October 22nd.
• They are expected to arrive in your mailbox this week.
Early Registration Extended
• The deadline for early registration has been extended to November 30th.
• Early registration allows residents to:
o Rent a garbage or recycling cart in advance
o Apply for the 10% senior discount before the first billing cycle begins
• Register here: www.lawrenceparktwp.org/waste-management-wm
These registrations go directly to the Township, not Waste Management. The Township will forward your information to Waste Management to guarantee your tote rental and discount. If you do not register early, you will still receive service, but your discount or cart rental may take longer to process. Official registration through Waste Management’s online portal will not open until after your first bill is issued.
Customer Service Reminder
• Waste Management’s customer service line does not yet have full details on Lawrence Park’s transition.
• Please direct all questions to the Township Office, and we will do our best to assist you.
Cost and Services Comparison
Unfortunately, there was no option that kept prices the same or lowered them for residents. However, Waste Management’s contract results in lower costs and additional services than Pro Waste’s renewal proposal.
• Pro Waste: $97.50 per quarter plus $12.50 per cart rental
• Waste Management: $97.29 per quarter plus $8.01 per cart rental
• Net savings for residents
Waste Management offers services not previously included:
• Monthly large item pickup
• Recycling services
• Six weeks of leaf pickup
• Scheduled hazardous item collection
The Township will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
