Trash/Recycle

Recycle containers are now available in a 24 gallon and 32 gallon size. The cost is $5 for the 24 gallon and $10 for the 32 gallon. Please stop in the office to purchase your recycle container.

Trash and recycle items will be picked up on Monday’s. Thursday’s will be for trash and 1 large item pickup. Residents are reminded that per the Borough Ordinance, trash is not to be placed outside until 6:00 pm the day before trash pick-up. Trash must be contained so trash does not blow out of the can and place trash in an area that does not hamper pedestrians from using the sidewalk or block the roadway. If trash collection falls on a holiday then trash pickup that week will be delayed by one day.  For more information please visit the Penn Waste website at www.pennwaste.com or ycswa.org

Reminder to Residents:

  • Garbage cans must not exceed the 50 lb weight limit. If cans are too heavy, the cans will be left until the trash is separated into multiple cans. Cans that are too heavy can cause an injury for the garbage men.
  • All trash must be properly bagged. The garbage men cannot collect small loose items as this is too time consuming.
  • Dog waste must be bagged and tied! Dog waste placed in trash cans without being bagged and tied gets spilled when the garbage men are emptying the cans. Loose dog waste creates a health issue when it spills on the garbage men and on the ground.
