municipal yard waste management

Municipal Yard Waste Management Assistance Program
To reduce the amount of material going into our landfills, East Pennsboro Township has constructed a yard waste facility, which is located on South Humer Street. Penn Waste, the township municipal waste contractor, provides yard waste collection on your regularly scheduled trash day. Tree trimmings, shrubbery and other organic landscape vegetation are considered “Yard Waste” materials. These items should NOT be placed in plastic bags but should be placed in a separate container or you can purchase biodegradable Kraft bags. Bundles of materials should be no longer than four (4 ‘) feet in length and should not weight more than 30 lbs. The Township crews chip and compost these items and then offer, free of charge, the mulch or compast to our township residents. Currently we have mulch and compost available for pickup at 750 South Humer Street. The facility is opened on the first and third Saturdays from 7:00am to Noon.
