​                                 Trash and Recycling Disposal

Service day in the Borough is Friday and all trash and recycling should be placed to the curb no earlier than 12 hours before collection and removed from the curb on the same day of service.

Recycling and trash toters are provided to each resident by the trash hauler. Smaller-sized trash and recycling toters are available to residents. (Call the Borough Office for the size options.) The trash toter holds the amount of trash you are permitted to put out each week for collection. So, take this into consideration if you decide to opt for a smaller trash toter. Anything that does fit inside the toter with the lid closed will be considered over the limit and will need a green tag (which can be purchased at the Borough Office.) A green tag will need to be affixed to any trash bag that does not fit into the toter. (Untagged bags will NOT be picked up by the trash hauler.) Do not pile bags beyond the top edge of the toter or on top of the closed lid as they could fall off when the toter is lifted.

Please note:  All trash and recycling must be placed in the Republic Services provided trash and recycling toters for pickup.

Toters must be kept at least two feet (2') away from other toters, mailboxes, fire hydrants, low hanging trees or shrubs, parked cars, and utility poles so the trash truck can easily access the toters and should be placed as close as possible to the curb. The handles on the toters should face toward your residence when positioned at the curb. The diagram below shows the correct placement of the toters at the curb to allow for efficient emptying of them.
