ABSOLUTELY NO grass clippings, tree branches, or yard waste are to be placed on the street for the street sweeping/leaf collection. This will clog and/or break the equipment resulting in delays to the collection schedule for the entire township. Grass, branches, or yard waste found on the street or mixed in with leaves will be left for you to clean up and dispose of yourself.  

During leaf collection season, every effort will be made to collect leaves on streets with signed parking restrictions on the days/times listed on the street signs. The area (route) the crew will be working in will be posted in advance (when possible) on the township website home page. Route (Zone) Maps are available by clicking here.

NOTE:  During leaf collection, if vehicles are parked on or too close to leaf piles, those leaf piles will be left behind and are the responsibility of the resident to remove.

NON-SIGNED STREETS

  • There is no scheduled street sweeping for non-signed streets. 
  • For non-signed streets, the crew attempts to sweep every street in the township a minimum of twice a year—once in the fall and once in the spring. There is no notification as to when this will take place. If vehicles are parked on the street, the operator will go around them.
  • If your street is heavily littered, call the public works office at (717) 293-1733
