Residential Sanitation Customers
The Borough would like to make our residential customers aware of how the Borough’s Waste Management contract works. The contract is a 5 year term and it is with the Borough of Portland. So the Borough is the “bulk” user and the Borough then takes and divides up the contract amount between all the units to be collected from.
If for some reason your trash and/or recycle are not collected and you try to call WM direct you may be told you are not a customer of record. This is because the actual customer is the Borough. You may find it easiest to report your issue to the Borough office, 570-897-0559. If you do contact the Borough office they will need your name, the property address and if you rent the property owners name.
