Yard Waste

The pickup will start in the northern most part of each zone on MONDAY (unless noted) and proceed southerly. It may take multiple days to complete each zone. Yard waste must be curbside NO LATER than 7:00 a.m. on the dates noted above. The yard waste truck will make only one pass through each zone during the week identified. Material must be placed curbside either in the 92- gallon Township container, other rigid containers, or Yard Waste Bags available at local retailers and home improvement stores. Containers other than the 92-gallon barrels provided by the Township must weigh less than 70 lbs.

Yard Waste Materials May Can Be Placed in:

  • Open, rigid, waterproof containers
  • Bundled using twine or string; no tape, nylon, rope or cloth.
  • Containers must weigh less than 70 pounds.
  • Yard waste placed in plastic bags will not be collected.


Accepted Material:

  • Leaves – loose or in bags (brown paper only)
  • Small Brush—up to 4 inches in diameter (no longer than 6 ft)
  • Hedge & Shrub Trimmings
  • Garden & Plant Residue
  • Christmas trees (free of ornaments and tinsel) 

Not Accepted:

  • Sod, dirt, soil, mulch
  • Tree Stumps, root balls
  • Hay, straw, grass clipping
  • Ornamental Grass, bamboo
  • Cornstalks, pumpkins, rocks 

Recycle your grass using a mulching mower or by cutting your lawn frequently and leaving the grass on the lawn.

This does not contribute to thatch and provides excellent fertilizer. You can place grass out for the regular trash collection but this practice is not recommended by the Township or the Commonwealth of PA Department of Environmental Protection.
