Happy New Year! Now that the holidays have passed, Jenkintown Borough has scheduled Holiday Tree Special Pick-Up for the next Five (5) consecutive Tuesdays. Jenkintown Borough Public Works will begin curbside pick up of Holiday Trees next Tuesday, January 8th. These special pick up days will continue for five (5) consecutive Tuesdays (1/8, 1/15, 1/22, 1/29 and 2/5). Residents are encouraged to place the trees out on Monday evening in order to guarantee pickup.

Please be sure to remove all lights and ornaments so that the process of turning the trees in to usable mulch will not be negatively affected. 

Regularly scheduled lawn & leaf debris curbside pickup will continue on Tuesdays weather permitting.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to stop in Borough Hall or call us at 215 885 0700.
