CURBSIDE TRASH AND RECYCLING COLLECTION – FRIDAY, 7/3

This week’s curbside trash and recycling collection will not be affected by the Fourth of July holiday and will be collected as regularly scheduled on Friday, July 3rd.

Due to the forecast of excessive heat on Friday, Republic Services will be starting the curbside collection of trash and recycling one hour earlier (6:00 AM) than usual to help protect the health and safety of their workers. If you have trash or recycling to be picked up, please place it curbside Thursday night or no later than 6:00 AM Friday morning. 

2026 Solid Waste Invoice Error

The Borough has received notification that the discount option period “Pay Entire Year before 1/31/26” was inadvertently omitted from the 2026 Solid Waste Collection invoices. The Borough is working with their electronic invoicing processor to resolve this issue, and revised invoices will be reprinted and mailed out.

HOLIDAY TREE DISPOSAL SCHEDULE – TUESDAYS IN JANUARY

Holiday trees placed curbside will be picked up with yard waste collection each Tuesday in January. This year that falls on January 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th.

The trees are picked up by the Borough Public Works Department and delivered to Abington Township where they are ground into mulch with other yard waste, which is then made available to Borough and Township residents free of cost.

Please be sure to remove all lights, ornaments and tinsel before placing the tree curbside so that the process of turning the trees into usable mulch will not be negatively affected.
