Jenkintown Borough has declared a Snow Emergency, effective from 10:00 PM Friday, February 16th through 12:00 NOON, Saturday, February 17th.

Due to anticipated snow this evening and into tomorrow, with freezing temperatures, and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of affected residents, business owners and travelers traversing the Borough, Jenkintown Borough Mayor Lerman has declared a Snow Emergency in Jenkintown Borough.

Residents are requested to move all vehicles from the streets, if possible. If you have a driveway, please park in it. If not, please park as close to the curb as possible so plow trucks can clear roadways without obstructions.

Sidewalks must be clear of snow and ice 24 hrs after snow has ceased falling.

If you must travel, please use extreme caution. Borough crews have salted all roads in the Borough and will be working to keep roads clear.

Due to the pending snowstorm, the Borough’s contracted waste hauler Republic Services will be providing curbside collection of trash and recycling tomorrow morning (Friday). The collection will begin at 4:00 AM to allow the entire Borough to be collected before the forecasted storm worsens.

Please place your trash and recycling curbside today (Thursday) and it will be picked up tomorrow morning (Friday) starting at 4:00 AM.

This unusual service hour was offered by Republic Services and accepted by the Borough to enable the weekly curbside pickup to take place safely and allow employees that are performing the work to travel safely.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these forecasted severe weather conditions.

If you have any questions regarding the collection schedule, please contact Borough Hall at (215) 885 – 0700.
