Trash Collection (Friday) - Please see the new rules now in effect as of January 1, 2011.

Any trash or construction debris that is generated by a contractor is the responsibility of the contractor and the homeowner. The Borough will not remove this waste, even if it is placed at the curb and is properly containerized. All trash must be placed at the curb prior to 7:00 AM on trash day, but not before 6:00PM on the day prior to the collection. After collection, all empty containers shall be removed from the curb side promptly. Waste that does not comply will not be picked up.

Bulk Pick Ups - Furniture and non-recyclable bulk items will be collected on the same day as household trash, Friday. Note: trash contractor picks up bulk items. Recyclable appliances, washers, dryers, scrap metal, etc. will be removed by contacting the Public Works Department at: 468-5300. Please leave a message with your address and a description of what needs to be picked up.

Leaf Collection October 17th through December 19th
(NOT in bags or containers)
Place in street away from curb, vehicles and storm drains
When:

	Leaves will be picked up on a rotating basis throughout the borough approximately every 7 to 10 days.
	Timing is dependent upon weather and/or Public Works availability in the event of in-town emergencies.
	After the bulk leaf collection has been completed on December 19, all leaves should be put in containers.

How:

	Leaves placed too near a parked car cannot be picked up (adequate space is required for leaf removal equipment)
	During bulk leaf collection, leaves should be placed in the street far enough from the curb line to allow water to flow past to the catch basins.
	Leaves should be placed at least 10-feet from all storm water catch basins.

What:

	Do not mix tree limbs or branches with leaves. If mixed in or on top of the leaves, leaves will not be picked up.

Snow Removal - When Snow is expected, please make every attempt to park vehicles in driveways or off the street. If your car MUST remain on the street when it snows, please use the odd/even system for the purpose of successful plowing. On odd days, park cars on the odd numbered side of the street. On even days, park the cars on the even numbered side of the street. We thank you for these efforts which will aid in the prompt and efficient removal of snow from our streets. If at all possible, wait to shovel your driveway until the snow has been pushed back to the curb line by the plows. Sidewalks must be cleared within 12 hours of accumulation, as per ordinance.

Building Materials - (example: bricks, cinder blocks, old fencing, etc) These are NOT collected by the Borough. It is the responsibility of the homeowner or contractor to arrange for proper disposal. This includes wood remaining from tree removal. If you hired someone to cut down a tree, the contractor must remove the wood. Remember, removal of shade trees requires approval from the Shade Tree Commission.

Shade Tree Commission Trees
Contact the Shade Tree Commission @ 468-9692 concerning trees located between the curb and sidewalk for questions concerning trimming/removal or to report a problem tree.
