Community Development/Planning Committee Meeting Cancelled
The Community Development/Planning Committee Meeting scheduled for Thursday, April 11th at 5 PM has been cancelled.
Spring Brush Pick-Up
Borough residents are encouraged to participate in the annual spring (brush, tree trimmings and leaves) pick-up scheduled for the week of April 1st through the 5th.
The Borough Public Works Department will be following the daily street maintenance schedule in its efforts to collect brush, tree trimmings and leaves. These materials will only be collected on the day the street is posted for no parking from 7 AM to Noon, and any subsequent debris left unattended will be considered litter.
Tree limbs and tree debris should be no larger than 4” in diameter and cut to manageable lengths. It should be placed between the curb and the sidewalk where appropriate. Leaves should be managed in the same manner as fall collection (placed in the gutter along the street) and not co-mingled with limbs and brush.
The Borough hopes this annual spring pick-up will help alleviate the hassle of collecting the material individually and having to schedule with the municipal brush pile times of operation. (Brush pile times of operation: Wednesdays 8 AM to 4 PM and Saturdays 8 AM to Noon.)
Additional questions can be directed to the Borough Office at (570) 523-3614 or feel free to stop in at the Borough Office located at 55 South Fifth Street, Lewisburg.
Christmas Tree Collection – Entire Month of January
The Borough crew collects Christmas trees, as their schedule permits, during the entire month of January. Trees should be placed at the curb (or along an alley depending upon your property location). This collection may not occur every day depending upon their work activities, but rest assured they will get them.
Thank you.

Identification showing you are a Borough resident will be needed.
Leaf Collection Suspended
Due to the recent snow event, the Borough will immediately suspend leaf collection. It was originally scheduled to end Friday, November 23rd. However, if the weather cooperates in December and there are leaves that remain, there may be a final round of leaf collection on street cleaning days. If this occurs, the Borough will also announce on their Facebook page.
REMINDER: Residents can self-haul their leaves to the Borough’s brush pile in the St. Anthony Street Recreation Complex on Wednesdays from 8 AM to 4 PM and on Saturdays from 8 AM until Noon. Identification showing you are a Borough resident will be needed.
