People living in Burgettstown have a new trash collector, although the pick-up days are different for residents depending on which section of the borough they live in.
Borough council awarded the three-year refuse contract to R&K Disposal Inc. on July 23 with the first pick-up earlier this month.
The new contract means customers will pay $16.67 per month, while seniors will pay $15 per month. The borough’s contract with Waste Management expired last month and its bid was slightly higher than R&K Disposal.
Pick-up dates will be either Thursday or Friday, depending on the section of town, and borough officials are advising people to put out trash Wednesday night until learning which date they should expect pick-up.
Customers are encouraged to call R&K Disposal at its Joffre location at 734-947-2428 for the pick-up date.
