There is no rate reduction for not using recycling.
Our residents spoke, and we listened. Many residents have asked us to offer them paperless billing and online payments. Butler Township has launched a new online billing and payment solution, offering more ways to view and pay your trash bill, plus the addition of 24/7 phone payments and pay by text. Residents can receive and view bills electronically, make a payment with credit/debit card or e-check, and choose to go paperless. You can also call to make a payment by phone at 1-855-967-1047.
A quick, one-time payment can be made without registering or you can create an account to enjoy more features like setting up automatic payments, saving payment information for later use and viewing payment history.
