Residential Curbside Refuse and Recycling Service
Contract:
- Burgmeier’s Hauling Inc. (BHI) provides curbside refuse collection using hauler-owned carts.
- Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority (CCRRA) collects recycling in red bins.
- Refuse and Recycling collection is on the same day.
- CCRRA provides Billing and Customer Service.
- Centre Region COG Refuse and Recycling Program provides service to residents and townships.
Cart use:
- Residences use hauler-owned carts for weekly refuse collection. Everything should go in your cart.
- If you need a new cart, need an additional cart, or wish to switch your cart size, please contact one of us (see contacts below). You will be charged a $25 switch fee to change your cart size, but a second cart will be delivered for free. New residents can switch the size of the cart left at the property for free.
- How to use your cart:
- Every residence must use the hauler-owned cart. Do not place refuse out in your own can.
- The lid of the cart should close tightly to discourage interference from birds and animals.
- Extra bags beside the cart (leave 3 feet between the cart and bags) will be charged $4 per bag. If the cart is so full that bags sit fully or mostly outside the cart they too will incur a charge of $4 per bag or item.
Invoices:
- Invoices arrive by mail or email from the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority (CCRRA).
- Invoices include contact information, how to set up online account and autopay, and payment options.
- The invoice mailings also contain the COG R&R Newsletter which includes important information on your service, details on bulk waste collection, disposal of yard wastes, contact details, and changes in collection for holidays. Newsletters are also HERE.
