A new bulk waste and white goods pick-up service is being initiated
Due to an increase in the overall volume of trash and refuse being collected in the Borough and increasing costs for disposal, a new bulk waste and white goods pick-up service is being initiated. As of April 1, 2005 residents that desire the Borough to pick up and dispose of bulk waste items and white goods must complete a Service Order Form and pay an additional amount for each item.

Completed service order forms can be brought in or mailed to Borough Hall. Stickers for each item will be issued upon payment. The stickers should be placed on the items for which they were purchased and the contractor will be notified to pick them up. Bulk waste items and white goods that do not have the proper sticker will not be picked up. All residents are being asked to comply with Borough Ordinances and this new program. Additional order forms can be obtained from the Finance Department at Borough Hall or by calling 610-970-6530. Download Form
