More Than 30 Ross Streets Exempted from New Recycling Bins

Waste Management has determined it's not feasible for a truck with a robotic arm to pick up the new 65-gallon containers on these streets.

A month after implementing a new recycling collections system in Ross Township, Waste Management has decided to return to the old system on 31 streets which can't accomodate the new, 65-gallon containers, or the truck with the automated arm to pick them up.

The residents on the following streets will be notified to go back to the old, 18-gallon bins and the new ones will be picked up.
