Montgomery County, PA does not collect trash. Each of the 62 municipalities directs its own trash and recycling program within Pennsylvania's Act 101 framework, arranging municipal crews or private haulers. The county coordinates the overall Municipal Waste Management Plan and assists with recycling.
Under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101, 53 P.S. §4000.101 et seq.), Montgomery County adopts a countywide Municipal Waste Management Plan, updated roughly every ten years to assure at least ten years of disposal capacity. Actual collection is arranged municipally: each borough or township either provides collection, contracts a hauler, or lets residents subscribe privately. The county employs a recycling coordinator to help municipalities meet Act 101 and runs countywide collection events. For your pickup day, provider and set-out times, contact your municipal office, not the county.
Set by your municipality or hauler contract; missed-service and improper set-out issues are handled locally, not by the county.
