5. If I didn’t receive an invoice, and called to request one be sent to me, will this result in a late payment? Will my services be terminated?: No. Your services will remain active, and no late fees will be attached to your account.

6. What if I am currently not set up on the tag system, but would rather use the tags/stickers than have regular service?: You will have to show proof that you are at least 62 years of age by stopping by the Municipal Building in Hempfield, and providing a legal form of identification (such as a driver’s license, birth certificate, etc.). Once your age is verified, you can either pick up stickers at the Municipal Building, or contact Advanced Disposal at the Somerset office to have stickers mailed to you.

The only exception for any account cancellation would be if it was a vacant location.

13. Where can I get a recyclable container?: Recyclable containers are available at the Hempfield Municipal Building.
