Saturday's Trash Pickup Won't Occur Until Next Saturday

Peters Township is protesting Waste Management's decision to delay Saturday, Dec. 29's trash pickup until Saturday, Jan. 5.

Waste Management was to pickup residents with a normal Friday pickup on Saturday, but reported that the trash was not picked up because of inclement weather.

"We are protesting this and examining our options. We hope to work out a better solution with Waste Management on this. Peters Township is working with the South Hills Council of Government to resolve this matter," stated township Manager Michael Silvestri.

Residents who were scheduled to have their garbage picked up on Thursday or Friday of last week will have their garbage picked up today, Monday, Dec. 31.

Here is the rest of the trash schedule for Peters Township:
Monday, Dec. 31: (Normal Monday Pickup - No Change)
Tuesday, Jan. 1: NO PICKUP - New Year's Day
Wednesday, Jan. 2: (Streets with Normal Tuesday Pickup)
