BRUSH PICK UP
Brush pickup begins April 1st. Please leave brush, leaves, and grass clippings in bags or containers on your curb. Any bags or containers should not weigh more than 40 pounds. Keep in mind brush longer than 5 feet or more than 4 inches in diameter will be not be removed. Leave brush for Monday pick up.
Also, remember this is a courtesy to our residents. At times, because of other projects, it is not feasible for our road crew to pick up brush. You may take leaves and other brush to Project 70 in Philipsburg.

OPEN BURNING
Open burning of leaves, paper, boxes, or rubbish is strictly prohibited in the borough. However, cooking fire is allowed. Stop by the borough building to review borough ordinances during published office hours.
​
PETS
Be sure to clean up after your dog, not only when walking but also in your yard. Dogs and other pets need amply water, food, and proper shelter form the weather at all times. Excessive barking is disturbing and a problem for your neighbors. Please be courteous and check on your dog.
TRASH REMINDER
Please place lids tightly on cans when putting trash out for collection. Animals are opening cans at night and leaving a mess. Also, remove the cans from the street in a timely fashion. Empty cans tend to blow around the streets during windy weather.

NO PARKING ZONES
There are several no parking zones in the Borough. Please be aware of where you may or may not park. As well, the Borough has a towing ordinance, at owner expense, and a junk vehicle ordinance. If you have any questions, please stop at the Borough Building during business hours.
WINTER REMINDERS
Borough ordinance requires residents keep sideways free of snow and ice. Within 24 hours of cessation of snowfall, sideways must be cleared. Please do not throw shoveled snow into streets.

During snowstorms, please help our road crews by removing your vehicles from the street during plowing. This would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a fire hydrant around your property, please shovel the area around the hydrant. The time this might save in an emergency could be a lifesaver.
