If you have an appliance or other metal items to be collected, the Borough collects metals items on the third Tuesday of each month. You must call the office (892-1287) to be placed on the collection list.

If the item you have contains freon, it must be removed by a certified technician. Bring the receipt to our office to receive a sticker for your appliance, and be placed on the collection list. ( no item with potential freon will be collected until a sticker is issued and affixed to it.
