East Pennsboro Township has a first rate, 15 member highway department.  We’re one of the few municipalities in the region that paves and maintains most of its own roads, a cost savings to taxpayers.  Top notch crews do an outstanding job of maintaining more than 70 miles of Township roads and streets annually, as well as picking up leaves in the fall and clearing snow in the winter.

     The sewer department, meanwhile, consists of 14 employees who operate and maintain an increasingly sophisticated and recently upgraded 4.4 million gallon Township Sewage Treatment Plant, 13 pump stations, and many miles of underground wastewater lines throughout the Township.

     Trash service is provided weekly through a private contractor, and includes curbside recycling and pickup of large items such as old furniture and appliances.  Large items can also be disposed of at other times by scheduling a pickup by Penn Waste or by obtaining a permit at the Township office and dropping off the item(s) at the old Public Works Building ( 750 S. Humer Street) on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month (7am to noon).  Used motor oil from autos and lawnmowers can be dropped off for recycling at Public Works Building (645 Tower Road) Monday through Friday (7am to 3pm).

LEAF COLLECTION DAY
Leaf collection for 2010 will begin OCT 25 and continue through DEC 3.  Collection falls on the day after your normal trash pickup.
      example:  Trash collection - Monday   Leaf collection - Tues   
 Please note that the Township observes Veteran’s Day November 11  and Thanksgiving Day November 25.  There will be no leaf collection on those dates.
Guideline for Leaf Collection service
  - No return trip by collection crew if homeowner misses their designated day.
  - All leaves should be raked on to the street, at the curb line.
  - Do not place large objects with the leaves, such as branches, bricks, stones, etc.  These objects will damage the leaf                    collection equipment.
  - Weather conditions may cause delays or variations in the schedule.
  - Residents are asked to use their off-street parking spaces, if available, during the six-week collection period.

LEAF COMPOST AND TAN BARK
 Due to liability concerns the Township staff will no longer be permitted to load the leaf compost or tanbark for the resident. Both items are still available for self loading, free-of-charge, at the Yard Waste Facility at 750 S. Humer Street in West Enola. The Yard Waste Facility is open 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month from April 5, 2010 to October 15, 2010.

Residents are reminded of our Township Ordinance not allowing your pet to desecrate or befoul any sidewalk, walkway, or property of another.  Be considerate of your neighbors and bring along a disposal bag and pick up after your animal.  Dogs must be under immediate control of their owners at all times. 

According to Township park ordinance, all pets must be on a leash not more than six (6) feet long, with the exception of a seeing eye dog for the visually handicapped while in the park.  Owners must cleanup all animal waste deposited by their pet.  The Township now provides “mutt mitts” for pet owners walking in Adams-Ricci Community Park.  These mutt mitts are disposable bags for owners to pick up after their animals.
