What to do with Yard Waste and Grass Clippings

​​

A helpful tip to share:  

To better serve our residents, you may consider placing your house number on the rear of your property  (on your home, fence, or garage).    This is helpful for emergency services but also our Public Works and Trash/Recycling Service as well.

ALERT: Paxtang Borough has implemented a new automated phone call system to communicate important information to residents and property owners.  We will test our system this week with a message.  If you do not receive a phone call and would like us to add your number, please contact the borough office.   For any changes, removal or additions of alternate phone numbers, to our Automated phone call list, please contact us the Borough office with your request by email or phone.  Thank you!
