Spring Cleanup weekend June 18-20th

TRASH PICKUP-
SEPTEMBER Through JUNE – Monday only
JULY & AUGUST ONLY---Monday & Thursday except Holidays.
2010 Alternate Holiday Schedule: Memorial Day pickup will be Tuesday MAY 25th, Labor Day pickup will be Tuesday Sept. 7th.

WE REMIND EVERYONE TO:

1. Place all garbage in bags (no heavier than 30 lbs.) and close securely.
2. Place trash in securely tied bags or trash receptacles at the Borough street curb or designated site.  Bags must be placed in trash cans with lock tight lids if placed at the curb prior to the morning of pick‑up (Please use a strap if yours don't have locking lids.) Trash collectors are not responsible for the cleanup of scattered trash.
3. When more than one family or business is using a pick-up site, please place a tag or sticker to identify YOUR bags. This helps curtail illegal dumping.
4. Remove trash or recycling receptacles from the curb after pick-up.
5. Keep curbside trash boxes clear of snow & ice to assure pick-up. Hang a bright ribbon or other marker from the box to notify the trash collectors to stop, otherwise they will not check them.
6. Do not place bags or cans curbside during a snowstorm.  If a winter storm or other event prohibits trash pickup, please wait to put your trash out after the streets have been cleared or on the next working week day. If your bags are white, be sure they are visible in the snow.

RECYCLING

October through April -1st Tuesday only.
May through September - 1st and 3rd Tuesdays only each month.

Remember To:
Rinse & separate recycling at curbside. If no recycling boxes are available, any similar container can be used.
Remove plastic, metal rings and lids from glass containers.
Crush aluminum and tin cans if possible.
Bundle & tie newspaper or cardboard. Note: Put newspaper & cardboard in plastic if there is precipitation. Wet items won’t be collected
Sort & Bag junk mail separately.

If weather or holidays prohibit a scheduled recycling pick‑up no alternate date will be scheduled. Sorted recycling can be placed in the first storage bay behind the Borough Branch at any time. This amenity is provided as a convenience and will be discontinued if these rules are not observed:

1. NEVER leave garbage or other trash in the recycling shed.
2. Items must be placed in designated bins or barrels. If these are full leave it in a box or bag by the container.
3. Secure the door when leaving.

These guidelines will ensure timely pick‑ups, discourage animals from scattering trash and avoid ordinance violations. As always, thank you for keeping our community clean & green.
