Waste Management, the nation’s leading environmental services provider, is proud to service the residents of Wyomissing Borough and would like to apologize to the community for service difficulties residents have been experiencing for the last few months.

The effects of the ongoing COVID pandemic continue to impact our business and, like many transportation companies, we are being challenged by a shortage of commercial truck drivers and technicians. We regret the inconvenience this is causing our customers in Wyomissing and are taking strong steps to resolve this situation and satisfy our customers.

Thank you for patience and again, sorry for the inconvenience as we work to resolve this situation and satisfy our customers.
