For the 100 block of E. Tulpehocken St. (even side only) trash collections will change from the rear (driveway) to the front (curbside). Click here for more information. 

The trash pickup location change is effective Thursday, January 9, 2020.

No. The collection day remains on Thursday.

Residents must continue to place their trash and recycling at the regularly scheduled collection site no earlier than 7:00 pm the night before collection day and no later than 7:00 AM the day of collection from April 1 through September 30. Trash and recycling should be set out between 5:00 PM the night before and 7:00 AM the day of collection at your regularly authorized pickup site from October 1 through March 31. Learn more about Sanitation regulations.

These changes are necessary due to the condition of the rear driveway including illegally parked cars, low hanging wires and overgrown brush that makes it difficult for trucks to navigate while driving. Changing to front (curbside) collection will ensure efficient and safe collection of trash and recycling.
