Public Works Department
The Public Works Department is a vital part of your government services. Consisting of four employees, they maintain all Borough streets and alleys, including street sweeping, snow removal, pothole patching, and leaf collection. The department is also responsible for maintaining the stormwater and sanitary sewer systems (sewer lines and pumping stations) and public recreation facilities. During the summer, they maintain Borough parks and facilities, streets, storm sewers, and solid waste sewers. In the fall, the pickup leaves, and in the winter, they keep our roadways clear of ice and snow. These are just a few examples of what our Public Works Department does!
Chipping Service
The Borough will bring the chipper to your property to chip tree limbs, hedges, and bushes. This free service occurs on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from April to September. No requests will be accepted until April 1st.
Chipping is only available for brush cut by homeowners. This chipping service is not for contractors or anyone doing major lot clearing. Contractors are responsible for their own brush removal. Piles of brush can be 15 ft long, 4 ft high, and 4 ft wide. All branches should face in the same direction (no cross-stacking) with the blunt/cut end facing out. The crew will not enter yards and carry material to the chipper. Material must be placed along a street or alley where it can be placed directly into the chipper.

Leaf Collection & Street Sweeping Service
The Borough’s Public Works Department provides seasonal leaf collection and street sweeping services to help keep our streets clean and safe. These services remove leaves, debris, and dirt that accumulate along roadways, helping to maintain proper drainage and improve the overall appearance of the community. Residents are encouraged to follow posted schedules and guidelines to ensure efficient collection.
