Important Change in Service for the 2025-2030 Contract

  • The new contract covers homes with weekly curbside trash and recycling collection in Benner, College, Ferguson, Harris, and Patton Townships only. It does not cover residences with dumpster service or residences in State College Borough or other Centre County municipalities.
  • In the new contract, weekly trash collection will switch to automated collection using hauler-owned carts for all residents.
  • Carts will be distributed to all households prior to the start of the contract. There is no additional fee to receive a cart.
  • You have a choice of 3 cart sizes: 95-, 65-, or 35-gallon wheeled carts.

Cart Selection

  • You should reserve a cart soon. Cart selection will remain open through September. Residents who do not register their choice will receive the default, 95-gallon size.
  • You should choose the size that will hold all of your refuse on your “trashiest” weeks. The largest size will accommodate most families, the mid-size will work for many two-person households, and the smallest size is a good choice for one-person homes.
  • You can complete your registration and cart selection at www.burgmeiers.com/cogcarts
  • If you live in a rental property, an HOA, or a COA, you should check with your property manager or association before registering for a cart size. A number of these are selecting one size for all units.
