Dear Bern Township Residents:

For those of you who live in the municipal trash collection districts, please be advised that
Monday collections will now start at 5:00 AM, beginning with the July 20th collection, and ending on September 1st.

Typically, the trash hauler starts collection later in the morning, however they are trying to get their men out of the hottest part of the day. The ordinance does allow collection to begin at 5:00 AM.

Thanks.
