It is that time of year! Tree and brush trimming, and leaf cleanup are on our Spring to do lists. The borough will provide the annual Spring curbside yard waste collections, so please use these services rather than taking your material to the yard waste sites. The brush chipping will begin on Monday, April 6th and the leaf bag collection will be the weeks of April 6th and April 13th. You can view more information about these services by clicking on the links. If you have any questions, contact Donna Platt at 412-364-4115, Ext. 302 or by email at dplatt@franklinparkborough.us. |
