RWW COG

The Borough of Womelsdorf utilizes the Robesonia-Wernersville-Womelsdorf Council of Governments (COG) to provide trash and recycling services to its residents.  The COG allows all three boroughs to combine their purchasing power together to allow for negotiation of better rates for services than if any single municipality negotiated for those services on their own.

The COG allows each of the three Borough’s to provide the valuable and much needed trash and recycling services to its residents while also trying to keep the costs of those services as low as possible.

The Robesonia-Wernersville-Womelsdorf Council of Governments (COG) just exercised the last contract extension option with Waste Management for trash and recycling collection starting 2024.  Due to the changing conditions in the economic market, there will be an increase in your trash & recycling bill for 2024.

The rate for 2024 will be $100.00 per quarter starting with the January billing cycle.

For the HOLIDAYS and SEVERE WEATHER - trash and recycling will be picked up one day later in the schedule in a week that has either a holiday or snow day before or on regular pickup days. The Scheduled Holidays are:

Make sure you don't leave recycling out on Trash Pickup Days!
