Towamensing Township accepted a new bid for landfill and transfer station services during its monthly supervisors meeting Thursday.

The township received a single bid from Advanced Disposal Services after advertising for bids last month. Supervisors accepted a per ton rate of $72.25 for May 2019 to April 2020, which will increase by 75 cents each year over the next four years. The rate will eventually reach $74.50 in May 2022.

The per ton amount is an increase from the previous rate, which was $70 per ton.
