Full Notification

The first vegetative waste pickup of 2021 will occur on Tuesday, April 20th.  Please follow all applicable regulations for placement of grass, leaves and brush not more than 4' in length and not more than 4" in diameter.  These materials will be picked up weekly, every Tuesday from Tuesday, April 10th, until Tuesday, December 14th.  Please note that there will no longer be bi-annual brush pickups due to the fact that brush (again, not more than 4' in length and not more than 4" in diameter) will be picked up every week.  Please pay particular attention to proper preparation of brush for collection which can be found here:

Brush must either be bundled with a natural fiber twine in bundles of not more than 50lbs or place in a container that can be dumped and returned to the curb.  Loose piles of brush will not be accepted.  Finally, with regard to all yard waste, no plastic bags or plastic/synthetic twine will be accepted.  Mixing this material into our loads will result in surcharges to the Borough from the end market user of our yard waste.
