Yard Waste and Leaves
Learn How to Dispose
Yard Waste and Leaves
The most environmentally correct way to dispose of yard waste is to utilize the borough’s collection program..
Branch chipping is performed April through October, on the first and third weeks of the month. Tuesday is the preferred collection day at this time, but that may change due to weather or scheduling conflicts.
Please follow the below guidelines:
- Place branches where you place your trash.
- We can spend no more than 10 minutes at any given stop.
- Stacking branches in an orderly fashion as close to the alley as possible saves pick up time. You may place smaller branches in a container to assist the crew.
- Branches must be less than 2 inches in diameter.
- Remove all soil and dirt from shrub roots.
- No boards or lumber, and no weeds
Christmas trees are chipped each week in January.
