PUBLIC INFORMATION
YARD WASTE COLLECTION
The public is advised that the Borough of Hellertown will be making a community-wide, curbside yard waste collection during the week of September 30th, 2024. Collections will generally follow the weekly trash collection schedule. Residents having yard waste for collection are advised to place it at their normal collection location the evening before the usual trash pick-up date. All yard waste for collection should be clearly separated from garbage, bundled with string, bagged in biodegradable PAPER bags (no plastic bags will be collected) or contained, and of reasonable weight so that it can safely be lifted by an employee into the collection truck hopper. Only the following material, free of garbage, will be accepted: leaves, small brush (up to 4” in diameter and no longer than 6 feet), hedge trimmings, and garden plant residue. NO GRASS, SOD, OR TREE STUMPS WILL BE ACCEPTED, NOR WILL COMMERCIAL BUSINESS MATERIALS BE ACCEPTED. FOR SAFETY REASONS, YARD WASTE THAT IS NOT BUNDLED, BAGGED IN BIODEGRADABLE PAPER BAGS OR CONTAINED, OR IS TOO HEAVY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO LIFT INTO THE TRUCK WILL NOT BE COLLECTED. NO PLASTIC BAGS WILL BE COLLECTED!!
Please be advised that the Yard Waste Compost Center is open to receive yard waste. The Center is open every Friday and Saturday from April 19th through November 16th. The Center hours are from 9 AM to 1 PM. The Center is free of cost to Hellertown Borough residents. Lower Saucon Township residents may use the Center for a $25.00 annual fee. ID cards are available at Borough Hall weekdays from 9 AM to 4 PM.
