Fairview Township Reopens Trash and Recycling Bidding as Zoning Work Advances

Fairview Township has reopened the bidding process for trash and recycling services while continuing work on its comprehensive zoning ordinance and map.

The township posted new trash and recycling rebid documents on July 28, 2026. The action begins another step in determining how future collection services may be arranged for households and businesses in the township. The rebid could affect service terms, prices, collection routes and contractor performance, but it does not announce a new hauler, rate or collection schedule.

The township’s online listing does not state the rebid’s contract term, estimated cost, bid deadline or detailed service specifications. Those details will matter to residents tracking possible changes and to companies considering the work. Any change in service would follow the bidding and award process.

Zoning and planning updates

Separately, Fairview Township posted updates on July 17 concerning its comprehensive zoning ordinance and map committee. The planning work addresses subdivision, land development, zoning and the township’s Act 537 sewage facilities plan.

Those subjects shape the rules used to review property use and future development. The work therefore has implications for property owners, applicants and neighbors as the township considers how its land-use regulations and map should be updated.

The township calendar lists a Planning Commission workshop for Aug. 18, 2026. That workshop is the next listed planning date in the schedule provided by the township.

Cox/Cardinal Lane hearing set for Aug. 20

The township’s Zoning Hearing Board has scheduled a session for Aug. 20, 2026, on Docket No. 2026-03 concerning Cox/Cardinal Lane. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

A previous township notice said the hearing was postponed from July 16 to Aug. 20. The August session is the next listed step for the docket. The township has not announced whether the application will be approved or denied.

The trash and recycling rebid and the zoning activity involve different township functions, but both could affect decisions residents and property owners follow closely. The service bidding concerns future collection arrangements, while the zoning ordinance, map work and Cox/Cardinal Lane proceeding concern land use and development review.

Fairview Township identifies its municipal offices at 599 Lewisberry Road, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and uses its official website to publish meeting schedules, rebid documents and zoning notices.
