Regular Weekly Trash Collection

Household trash is collected once a week. Please place your brown refuse cart at the curb the night before your collection day. Carts should be placed at least one foot (1') apart and three feet (3') away from obstructions such as utility poles, mailboxes, and cars. Do not place trash carts out more than one day in advance, and retrieve them on the same day as collection.

All trash must be placed in the brown refuse cart and the lid must close. There should be no contents that protrude from the closed lid and the cart should not be overstuffed/overpacked. Trash outside of the brown cart will not be collected.*

To find out what collection area you live in, please click here for a map, or visit the homepage and type in your address in the "Address Lookup" field.

*In accordance with Ordinance #24-1395, any collection cart that is deemed unacceptable at the time of collection due to inappropriate location, timing, or contents; is considered to be overloaded; or has contents protruding from the lid, shall be considered a violation of the ordinance. The residents will be given notice and shall:

  1. be put into writing and placed on the handle of the collection cart.
  2. include a statement of the reasons why it is being issued.
  3. allow a reasonable time for the performance of any act it requires.

In the event of a cart violation, the collection will be skipped.

You can order and pay for an additional brown trash cart by calling the the Township Receptionist at (215) 643-1600 ext. 0. There is a one-time fee of $250 for a 95-gallon cart.

NOTE: As of September 3, 2024, a non-refundable processing fee will be added to all credit card transactions made through Upper Dublin Township (program registrations, permit fees, bulk trash payments, etc.). Processing fees are paid directly to a third-party credit card vendor and are not paid to the Township.

We accept the following major credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. To avoid a processing fee, the Township can accept payments via cash or check.
