BURIED BY LEAVES?
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MILLCREEK’S CURBSIDE LEAF & BRUSH COLLECTION WEEKS
ALL leaf waste must be placed in clear/transparent bags during the scheduled leaf collection weeks on
your normal pickup day. Clear/transparent bags are available at the Millcreek Township Building (3608 West
26th Street) for purchase. Cash or check only ($5.00/25 clear bags). Clear bags may also be obtained from
any retailer of your choice. Bags must be placed separate from trash and recycling and CANNOT contain GRASS

Consider mulching your grass clippings onto your lawn instead of bagging for a more eco-friendly alternative!
