With the impending storm prediction, residential trash & recyclables will not be picked up Wednesday. Our trash hauler will pick up residential trash & recyclables on Thursday.

Waste Management will be rescheduling trash pick-up in Lower Gwynedd this week due to the pending storm. Trash collection and recycling will be conducted on Friday, March 9th, instead of Thursday this week.
