LET'S TALK TRASH!
Muskingum Township is pursuing the idea of offering a single provider for residential and commercial trash and recycling for those utilizing such services. The main reasons are to reduce costs to consumers, eliminate excess wear and tear to Township roads, and enhance safety to the community. Learn more about pros and cons here.
Other local municipalities that have transitioned to a single provider are Barlow Township, City of Marietta, Waterford Township and Watertown Township.
“In 12 years of using a single hauler trash service we have had no complaints, great trash rates, good service. Our local school was also provided with free service. Overall a win for the township roads and the township residents.”
— Tim Rossiter, Waterford Township Trustee
“In the beginning we had a handful of people stating that it was government over reach. We use a three-year contract saving the residents money, and preventing quarterly price increases.”
— Annette Schott, Watertown Fiscal Officer
