BOROUGH ORDINANCE CHANGES:
Please note that Council has recently enacted an updated Refuse Ordinance which now requires that trash be stored and placed out for collection in durable, watertight containers equipped with handles and tight-fitting covers which cannot be larger than thirty-five (35) gallons. Refuse and recycling cannot be placed out for collection prior to noon the day before pickup. All containers must be removed by 11:59 p.m. the same day as collection and stored on your individual property. Containers are not to remain in the alleys or on the streets where you place them for collection. At no time are trash cans and recycling bins to be stored in the front of your property or on the front porch or yard area.
If you have any questions or wish the view the Ordinance please call or stop in Borough Hall in the Administration or Code Enforcement Department and we will assist you.
***There is a limited amount of coupons for Lowes for $5.00 off towards the purchase of a trash can with lid. This is on a first come, first serve basis. Limit of "1" per household. Contact Tracey in the Codes Department for more details.
