Gold Medal Environmental Takes Over Trash Collection in Moorestown

Trash collection in Moorestown will now be handled by Gold Medal Environmental Company.

Moorestown Council approved the transfer of services from Casworth Enterprises to Gold Medal at its July 13 meeting, the Moorestown Sun reports.

The change was made after Casworth informed the township that it was in the middle of a contract that would allow Gold Medal to take over the township’s services, according to the report.

For the residents of Moorestown, the change will not be visible, as they will continue to use the same workers and same trucks, according to the report.

Casworth has been serving Moorestown since April of last year. Prior to that, trash collection was done in-house and the township had been paying $1.3 million in trash collection.

The contract approved last January called for township to pay $425,732.80 the first year; $427,350.80 the second year; and $428,968.96 the third year.

Gold Medal is based in Deptford. It was founded by Glen Miller, Jim Sage and Will Adams after acquiring a Philadelphia collection company and Gold Medal Disposal, according to the company’s website.

It offers commercial collection and disposal service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It’s other accounts include the Reading Terminal and Ocean City.

According to the township’s official Facebook page, trash collections inquiries and/or complaints should be directed to: Gold Medal Environmental, 1770 Hurffville Road, Sewell, NJ 08080, 856-784-5050.
