Recycling Discontinuing
Beginning January 1, 2020, Alsace Township will no longer have dumpsters available for recycling. This decision was made due to the rising costs of this service to the Township which have risen over 250% in the last several months as well as misuse of the service. Individual property owners can contract with private companies, several of which are available to service Alsace Township. http://www.co.berks.pa.us/dept/swa/Pages/default.aspx

- December 2020: The Census Bureau delivers apportionment counts to the President and Congress as required by law.
