ADVANCED DISPOSAL CURBSIDE COLLECTION OF GRASS, LEAVES, & BRUSH 2020 FALL LEAF COLLECTION WEEKS: May 4th – May 8th October 19th – October 23rd November 2nd – November 6th November 16th – November 20th December 7th – December 11th GRASS: Grass MUST be bagged and placed curbside for weekly trash collection. An alternative to bagging grass would be to use a mulching lawn mower or to place clippings inside a compost bin along with “browns” and aerate regularly. BRANCHES: Branches must be cut into 4ft. sections and placed curbside during Brush Collection Week (September 14th – September 18th) or taken to the Millfair Compost & Recycling Center. Branches CANNOT be placed in the Recycle Toters as this contaminates our curbside recycling program. CURBSIDE LEAVES: ALL leaf waste MUST be placed in clear/transparent bags during the scheduled leaf collection weeks on your normal pickup day. Bags must be placed separate from trash and recycling containers and CANNOT contain GRASS and branches! Leaves CANNOT be placed in the Recycle Toters as this contaminates our curbside recycling program. A third truck from Advanced Disposal will pick up the leaf bags on your regularly scheduled collection day. If your trash, recycling, or leaf waste is not collected, please call Advanced Disposal at 814.833.1111 ext.133 to report a missed collection. ASK THE RECYCLING COORDINATOR: Q: What should I do with my trash and recycle toters if I move out of my home? – Joel W. A: When moving to a new address (within or outside Millcreek Township), please leave the trash and recycling toters at your old address. Millcreek Township requests that you place them inside your garage or behind the home so they are available to the new homeowner but not visible from the street. If you move to a new address and there are no trash and recycle toters present, please call Advanced Disposal at 814.833.1111 ext.133. —Jessica Stutzman, Millcreek Township Recycling Coordinator To have your recycling questions answered by Millcreek’s Recycling Coordinator, please submit an email to [email protected] or call 814.833.1111 ext.317. 12 MILLCREEK
