Regional Climate Survey

From CONNECT: What can our region do about climate change and the vulnerabilities it creates in our communities? Please tell us in CONNECT’s Regional Climate Survey.  It will only take about 5 minutes and will help our local governments plan for the future.

Storm Cleanup

Cleanup continues following the severe storms that impacted Edgewood Borough on Wednesday July 9, 2021. The Department of Public Works has removed a majority of the downed borough owned street trees and limbs from private property and roadways. Privately owned trees are the responsibility of the property owner to clean up and remove. Residents can easily discern between a private tree and a street tree based on its location relative to the street curb. Any tree between the curb and sidewalk is a borough owned street tree. Trees behind the sidewalk, or behind the curb on streets without sidewalks, are the responsibility of the property owner.

Please do not set piles of limbs from private trees along the sidewalk or roadside unless they are bundled for collection by Republic Services. Only limbs and branches under 4 inches in diameter, cut into 36 inch lengths, and weighing less than 40 lbs will be collected by Republic Services. Smaller branches and twigs should be tied into bundles meeting the same requirements.

Problems with your electrical service should be directed to Duquesne Light by calling 412-393-7000.

In general, please exercise caution when walking under all trees over the next few days as limbs may continue to fall from previously unidentified breaks or that are shaken loose by the wind. Downed limbs and wires should be reported to the borough by calling 911. This ensures the necessary resources are dispatched.

Lastly, despite news reports indicating so, borough officials did not declare a state of emergency. This information was falsely tweeted by Allegheny County communications staff and then repeated by local media outlets.

Important Change to Recycling

As of January 1, 2021, Republic Services is no longer accepting any glass with curbside Recycling Collection. Glass has the tendency to break during collection and contaminates other recyclables with fine shards of glass.  Any contaminated items are forced to be rejected, and sent to a landfill. To continue recycling glass items, Republic Services has stationed a large blue dumpster in the parking lot behind the Edgewood Borough Building, 2 Race Street, for items to be dropped off at residents' convenience. This bin is located next to the paper collection bins.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only bring your CLEAN glass recyclables, without lids, to place in the bin.
