City cost & eligibility

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. The borough's notice also states that each household is entitled to three cubic yards of the compost products a year at no cost.
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.
