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 , our Public Works Department, and  the Trash/Recycling Service .

ALERT: Paxtang Borough has an automated phone call system to communicate important information to residents and property owners.  If you have not received a phone call in February regarding the Trash/recycling change of service/instructions, 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!
