| From time to
time the Department of Public Works (DPW) conducts special
hauling for the Borough's residents.
The DPW can assist you in the
following ways:
Sand, gravel, topsoil, mulch and clean fill can be picked up for the
residents of the Borough at the availability of the DPW's equipment and
employees. Residents must submit an estimated cash amount for the
purchase of these items prior to it being picked up.
Larger amounts of refuse items from residents can be hauled to the
appropriate landfill. Residents can arrange to have a borough dump
truck left at their property overnight or for the weekend by calling the DPW
at (570) 562-1413. A $100.00 deposit must accompany the reservation to
accommodate necessary landfill costs. In the event the landfill costs
are less than $100.00 the resident will be refunded any monies due them.
The landfill costs are based on the disposed contents weight. Adding
weight such as cinder blocks, bricks, dirt or cement will add to the costs
of dumping at the landfill. Residents can still call for special pick
up of items considered clean fill, there are no costs associated , but
vehicle reservation is required.
Please check back again for information about items accepted at the Alliance
and ERSI Landfills. |
