Township Operations Updates

The Upper Uwchlan Township office remains CLOSED to the public. However, residents are reminded that they may conduct business with the Township remotely. View the staff directory for telephone numbers and email addresses.

Park Closures

Fellowship Fields and Larkins Field are closed to the public until further notice. Hickory Park remains closed. Upland Farms will continue to be open, but the portable bathroom will not be available. Individuals are reminded to clean up after themselves and their pets and use the refuse receptacles.

Trash and Recycling

At this time, there are no changes to trash and recycling pickup schedules. As always, be sure to put your Toters curbside the night before collection.

BAG ALL TRASH. For the safety of the hauler personnel, all trash that is placed in your trash Toter must be secured in garbage bags. This will protect the personnel from needing to handle loose articles of trash. Unbagged trash will not be collected.

Your single stream recyclables should still be placed in your recycling Toter unbagged.

Billing and Payment Updates

Trash and Recycling - Discount Rate Period EXTENDED

The discount rate period for Trash and Recycling Payments has been extended to April 30. Residents who pay by April 30 will owe the discount rate of $308.70.
