Paid in advance with the appointment, and no refund is issued if the bagged item is taken by someone other than borough staff before the scheduled pickup.
City collection Metal and appliances are collected free of charge, but they still have to be booked in advance on the same Monday schedule. No charge.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Phoenixville runs its own sanitation crews and collects bulk items on Mondays by appointment, priced by how big the piece is, with metal and appliances picked up for no charge on the same schedule once they are booked. The borough's own item list sorts furniture and household goods into small, medium and large, singles out a sectional sofa and a wooden shed for a quote, and requires a mattress or box spring to be bagged before it goes out. Yard waste runs on a separate programme that the borough bought with a state recycling grant: one free brown-lidded toter per household or paper bags with the address printed on them, collected every other week from April into October on the normal trash day, with the compost site on South 2nd Avenue open through the season, and leaves then get their own fall collection from November into December.
Bulk items are collected on Mondays by appointment and priced by size, with medium and large pieces only taken on a scheduled day.

When & how

Get it ready

A mattress or box spring is a large bulk item and has to be sealed in a mattress bag before the crew will take it.
City cost & eligibility

City cost & eligibility
No charge. The borough collects metal items at no charge for residents, and its own list names bicycles, bed frames, bathtubs, ceiling fans, dishwashers, dryers, exercise bikes, treadmills, grills, hot water heaters, ladders up to eight feet, microwaves, mowers drained of fluids, radiators, stoves, washers and many more as no charge items.

Yard waste goes out in the free brown toter or in paper bags on the every other week collection, and leaves get their own fall programme.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The brown 65 gallon yard waste toter is free, one per household and distributed first come first served, with biodegradable paper bags as the alternative, and the borough publishes no separate collection charge.

When & how
Yard waste is collected on the regular trash day every other week from April 1 through October 13 in 2026, with the published dates falling on April 1, 14 and 28, May 12 and 26, June 9 and 23, July 7 and 21, August 4 and 18, September 1, 15 and 29 and October 13. Leaves then run from November 2 through December 31, with bagged leaves picked up every other Friday from November 6.
Get it ready
Use the brown toter or a paper biodegradable bag with the address printed on it, and keep trash out of the toter because it is yard waste only. Grass clippings, leaves and small branches are accepted, while soil or sand, sod, chemically or pressure treated wood, rocks, stones, concrete or brick and wood over twelve inches in diameter are refused. Leaf piles must be kept free of sticks, limbs, brush and grass clippings, because a mixed pile is not collected and leaves co-mingled with trash are refused.

Payment is taken in advance by phone between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., a small item can ride the normal trash day only with a pre-paid bulk sticker from Borough Hall, and medium and large items are only collected on a scheduled Monday.
A mattress and a box spring have to be sealed in a mattress bag by the resident before collection, and a glass door or window has to be covered with multiple layers of packing tape on both sides with an X pattern across the glass. Items that are not on the borough list are not collected, and a sectional sofa, a wooden shed and a few other pieces are quoted individually instead of being set out as ordinary items.
Metal items are collected for no charge but only once the pickup is booked, using the same Monday route and Thursday noon deadline, and the borough line for it is 610-933-8801 extension 0. Mowers and snow blowers must be drained of fluids, swing sets, trampolines and metal sheds must be dismantled, fencing and poles must arrive without concrete, and a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or humidifier has to show that the refrigerant was removed and certified before the crew will take it.

The toter is yard waste only, grass clippings, leaves and small branches are the accepted material, and soil, sand, sod, treated wood, rocks, stones, concrete, brick and wood over twelve inches in diameter are refused.

Residents are asked not to rake leaves to the curb until the week before collection starts, bagged leaves go only in biodegradable paper leaf bags with the address printed on the bag, and the 2026 season runs from November 2 to December 31 with sections A and B served continuously and section C on Fridays.
