Special Announcement from Waste Management

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM WM

February 3, 2025

Township residents have started receiving letters providing you with a Customer ID directly related to your collection service address, so that you can setup your online My WM Profile. We appreciate your willingness to manage your service account directly on your phone or laptop.

We have been made aware that some of these letters contained an incorrect Customer ID.

After speaking with our print service, they have confirmed that the error was made by them during production of the individualized letters. They sincerely apologize for the confusion and are correcting the problem quickly.

Please DO NOT call the Township office or WM Customer Experience directly about your Customer IDs, as it will slow the process of getting your corrected ID numbers to you. New Customer ID information will be coming to you by mail early next week.

You will receive a new letter with your correct Customer ID number on it. This number may be the same one you already received, but we want to ensure we didn’t miss any resident who may have received a letter with incorrect information. Please destroy the original notice you received and use the corrected ID number once you receive it.

Providing direct access to residents to their municipal service account is a relatively new service provided by WM, and unfortunately, a few glitches have occurred. These were unanticipated and unfortunately has created confusion unnecessarily. We apologize for the inaccurate information.

We appreciate your understanding and patience, as we move forward to provide you with the quality services you deserve.

Sincerely,
Waste Management

Spring Stormwater Tips to Keep the Environment Safe

Jump to calendar

February 27 2023

With the arrival of spring, many of us are looking forward to warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and longer days. But with the change in seasons also comes an increased risk of stormwater runoff. As snow and ice melt and the rains of spring arrive, it's important to take steps to manage stormwater and prevent flooding and erosion in our community.

Here are some stormwater management tips for the springtime:

Clean out gutters and downspouts. Clear any debris from gutters and downspouts to ensure that rainwater can flow freely away from your home.
Inspect your yard for erosion. As the ground thaws and rain falls, it's important to look for any signs of erosion in your yard. If you notice any areas where soil is washing away, consider installing a rain garden or other form of erosion control to prevent further damage.
Plant native vegetation. Adding native plants to your yard can help soak up excess water and prevent runoff. Consider planting trees, shrubs, and flowers that are native to our area.
Limit the use of pesticides and fertilizers. Chemicals used to fertilize lawns and gardens can be carried by rainwater into nearby streams and waterways, causing pollution. Limit the use of these products or consider using organic alternatives.

By taking these simple steps, you can help to manage stormwater and prevent flooding and erosion in our community. Remember, we all have a role to play in protecting our local waterways, and by working together, we can keep our community clean, safe, and healthy.
