Schedule

Trash is collected twice weekly.

• East of Jackson Street is collected on Monday and Thursday.

Each residence is permitted 3 - 32 gallon containers per pickup.

Please - do not place electronics in the trash. The State of PA no longer allows desktop or laptop computers, computer monitors, computer peripherals or TVs to be disposed of in landfills and incinerators.
