2024 YARD WASTE COLLECTION SCHEDULE
The Borough offers a Yard Waste Pickup Program, which is held from April through September of each year. Borough crews will pick up yard waste at curbside in the borough according to the schedule below. Residents may place at curbside for pick up, on these weeks only, manageable lengths (no more than 4ft long and/or exceeding 5″ in diameter) tree branches, limbs and cuttings, small bushes – without root ball, hedges, and tree logs that are tied or bundled and stacked as best possible, alongside the road in front of your residence but not on the road pavement. Leaves, grass clippings, flowers, vines, roots, or garden/vegetable plants will NOT be picked up. Collected Yard Waste will be ground up and processed for mulch at the Twin Boroughs Recycling Center.
The 2024 Schedule for Borough Yard Waste Pickups is as follows:
Monday – Thursday, April 8 – 11
Monday – Thursday, June 3 – 6
Monday – Thursday, August 12 – 15
Monday – Thursday, September 23 – 26
Borough residents may also continue to bring yard wastes to the Twin Borough Recycling Center off Lincoln Avenue during regular Center hours. The yard waste program is for Borough residents and property owners only. Anyone bringing in yard wastes from outside the Borough will be prosecuted for violation of Borough ordinance requirements.
Please remember that the Borough garbage contractor, Waste Management of PA, Inc., is not responsible for picking up branches, limbs, and other “woody” yard waste materials under their refuse contract with the Borough.
Borough residents may also pick up at the Recycling Center, free of charge, mulch that is produced from the ground-up yard wastes (depending on availability). Please be advised, however, that you have to shovel and load your own mulch!
