We would like to bring to the community’s attention to a recent discovery regarding the second quarter billing for Waste Management. Upon thorough review, it has come to our attention that a billing error was identified by Derry Township, and we are actively collaborating with Waste Management to rectify the situation promptly. As some may recall, Derry Township communicated in December of 2023 that there would be a scheduled increase to $137.94 in Waste Management charges, effective April 1, 2024. However, upon reviewing the current billing statements provided by Waste Management, we have discovered an additional overage of $6.93. Please be assured that Waste Management is fully committed to addressing this issue as their top priority. They are diligently working to resolve it with utmost urgency. We kindly request your patience and understanding as Waste Management determines the most effective course of action to promptly handle this matter. Rest assured, they are dedicated to ensuring the error is rectified accurately and efficiently. We appreciate your cooperation during this process and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding your billing statement, please do not hesitate to contact Waste Management for assistance. https://bit.ly/3VLgvDHThank you for your understanding and cooperation.*To request further assistance, please visit the Waste Management website by clicking the “Request Help” button.
