1. Who collects trash in the Township?

Kennett Township does not haul waste from the curb- you are required to sign up with an independent hauler that will pick up your trash (and recycling) curbside. Kennett Township and all of the residents are mandated by the State to recycle. If you do not recycle with your private hauler, you can recycle at the Kennett Township Maintenance Garage, located at 557 Bayard Road. The phone number for the Garage is (610) 444-5130 The following is a list of local trash haulers that service our area. This list is not exhaustive, nor do we specifically recommend or warrant one hauler over another. Information here is included for your convenience:

2. Do I need to register my pets?

Dogs require licenses and regular vaccinations. Dog license applications are available by calling the Chester County Treasurer’s o?ce at (610) 344-6370. We also actively encourage dog and cat owners to consider a microchip for their pet, making it easier to return a pet to you in the unlikely event that it gets out of your property boundaries. If you do ?nd a dog running free or a lost pet, The Chester County SPCA is the enforcement agency for the Township and can be called at (610) 692-6113.

Kennett Township does have a dog ordinance which can be found on its website (Sec. 110). In summary, the ordinance requires that in parks, athletic ?elds and public events within the township, dogs are expected to be on a leash and under control of the owner or handler. The owner or handler of the dog must diligently supervise the dog, and be responsible for the immediate removal of any fecal matter, disposing of same in a safe and sanitary manner. Violations may result in the imposition of a ?ne between $100 and $500.
