To schedule a White Goods (refrigerator or freezer w/door removed, stove, hot water heater, washer) pick-up call 1-800-869-5566 then press #1 and wait on the line for a customer service operator and then tell them you are an Upper Macungie Township resident and your request.
NEW BULK ITEM CHANGE FOR 2013
As of 2013 Upper Macungie Township residents DO NOT NEED to call Waste Management for a single (one) bulk item pick up for the week at no charge. Our refuse/recycling newsletter is not correct. It was printed before UMT got the clarification on bulk item pick up.
Therefore, residents can put their one bulk item out about 2 to 3 feet from their cart and do not need call Waste Management or UMT.
However, this is not for the white goods item (e.g. freezers, refrigerators, etc.) You still call to schedule the white goods item pickup.
