Trash Collection - 2010

Every Tuesday


Instructions:

All garbage/refuse should be placed at curbside, no earlier than 5:00 PM on the day proceeding the day of pickup Except for holiday weeks, collection is on the same day – Tuesday – year-round.

Items should be placed within five feet of the curb. No building materials (i.e. wood, concrete, dirt, stone, etc.) will be collected. Tree pruning branches should be tied and bundled in three-foot lengths. Also, discarded carpeting should be rolled and tied. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners placed for collection must have had the refrigerant removed and a recovery sticker attached in accordance with Federal Law. Doors must be removed. For any unusual items or items in question, please call 1•800•866•4460 the day before. Unusual items may be collected, if notification is give in advance and if instructions are followed.


New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas are observed by the Borough’s contractor as holidays. If one of these holidays fall on Monday or Tuesday, residents will have their materials collected Wednesday. In order to avoid an increase in taxes, the Borough Council was obligated to impose a user fee of $40.00 per quarter. A discount of 50% or $20.00 per quarter is available to senior citizens that meet the Pennsylvania PACE Program income requirements. Contact the Borough Administration Office for details.

State Laws now prohibit the collection and disposal in landfills of grass clippings and leaves. The Borough has a leaf collection program. On three dates in the fall, leaves are collected; the exact dates are announced in the Borough Newsletter.

 

                                   

Recyclables Collection- 2010

Every Other Tuesday

Instructions:

The Borough of Jefferson Hills operates a Recycling Program with twice-monthly pickup on your regular garbage collection day.

 

Items to be recycled are clear and all colored glass, aluminum and bimetal cans and plastics bearing symbols PETE and HDPE, 1 and 2. Bottles and jugs are collected. The items to be recycled must be placed in the brown recycling container supplied by the Borough. The borough is also once again recycling newspaper. Recycle all paper that comes with the daily and Sunday editions including inserts. Do not recycle junk mail or telephone books. Place in a brown paper bag (no plastic bags) or under the brown recycling container.

Extra recyclables may be placed in a rigid plastic or metal container, which bears a sticker that identifies it as recyclables. The stickers are free and available at the Borough Office. The Borough has also established a drop off center located on the lower level parking lot at the Municipal Center, 925 Old Clairton Road.

The brown recycling bin remains the property of the Borough. In the event a property owner moves, the recycling container must be returned to the Municipal Center in a clean, reusable condition or a form completed transferring ownership to the Buyer. If the above is not done, the Seller of the property is assessed a non refundable fee of ten ($10.00) dollars.
