QUESTIONS WE ARE ASKED ABOUT YARD WASTE PICKUP

WHY DO I NEED TO CALL?

The Borough collects yard waste year round - weather permitting.  Some weeks there are no pickups, and during fall leaf season as many 50. To prevent the waste of time and fuel driving around the Borough, we ask you to phone.

WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY BAGS, REUSABLE CONTAINERS OR BUNDLES?

The road crew plans their route based on the amount being collected to avoid retracing their route.  

WHY WEATHER PERMITTING?

It is not worth the road crew being injured collecting during severe weather.  In the winter, if the trucks are setup for snow or ice, they can't collect yard waste.
