About
Garden Waste:
The
first Monday of each month, unless otherwise noted, the Borough Highway
Department will collect your leaves, weeds, clippings and branches, starting at
7:00 A.M. If the first Monday of the
month should be a holiday, the collection will be the following day. Branches should be tied in bundles not to
exceed 4. These bundles should not be
heavy and should be able to be picked up by one person (approximately 35 lbs.). Anything deemed to be overweight will be
left. Weeds, leaves and clippings may be
placed loose in a container or in plastic or paper leaf bags.
About
Dogs:
The
Borough Ordinance SB0-9 states that all dogs must be leashed when in public areas. If you see an unaccompanied dog, leave a
message with the Dog Warden (599-2028).
The
Ordinance also states that dog owners and keepers must clean up after their dog
in a public place. Small plastic bags
can make it easy to pick it up and take it with you. Your observance of this Ordinance will be
appreciated by all of us.
