Snow Removal

  • After a snow event, borough residents are required to clear their sidewalks of snow within 24 hours.
  • Please do not shovel or blow snow onto public roads, as this creates a driving hazard and can result in fines.

Dead Animals

  • Please report dead animals on street to Public Works for removal.
  • Public Works does not handle problems with live animals. We recommend you check your phone book for licensed animal control contractors

2024 Leaf Collection

Annual leaf collection starts Monday October 28, 2024. Residents must not place leaves at the curb until this time. Leaves left at the curb for an extended period of time are difficult to vacuum and slow down the collection process. Please keep your leaves in your yard until the day before they're scheduled for collection. This ensures that everyone's leaves are collected in a timely manner. Thursday is a catch up day to go back over any streets needing extra cleaning or that couldn't be completed earlier in the week.

Property owners that routinely place piles of leaves in the street days before their scheduled collection day may be subject to enforcement action for creating an unsafe condition. Collection delays and cancellations will be posted on the borough marquis, phone system and our Facebook page and website. 

Please see the 2024 Collection Schedule here.

Rat and Rodent Prevention

Please consult this flyer for tips on identifying and preventing rats and rodents around your property.  The borough does not bait or trap, please consult a professional extermination service to assess your needs. Download Tips for Rat and Rodent Prevention.
