Trash Collection

As of January 2, 2025, Edgewood Borough's waste and recycling services are provided by BIG's Sanitation. Trash and recycling collection takes place on Thursdays. Recycling is collected every other week and glass can be recycled at the borough building. Glass is not permitted in curbside recycling. 

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and E-Waste collections can be scheduled for pickup by calling BIG's Sanitation customer service at 724-379-4331. Appointments for HHW and E-Waste pickups must be scheduled; these items will not be collected with residential collection. Questions about service, bulk items, or container delivery should also be directed to the customer service line, or email: service@bigssanitation.com.

Residents will receive a quarterly bill from Jordan Tax Service for solid waste and recycling services. The 2025 service rate is $79 per quarter. Bills can be paid online, over the phone, or by mail.

Recycling

As of January 1, 2021, we no longer accept any glass with curbside Recycling Collection. Glass has the tendency to break during collection and contaminates other recyclables with fine shards of glass.  Any contaminated items are forced to be rejected, and sent to a landfill. To continue recycling glass items, Republic Services has stationed a large blue dumpster in the parking lot behind the Edgewood Borough Building, 2 Race Street, for items to be dropped off at residents' convenience. This bin is located next to the paper collection bins.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only bring your CLEAN glass recyclables, without lids, to place in the bin.
