The new garbage rates will go into effect in the September 2023 bill. Garbage is now billed $127.50 per quarter and $100.50 per quarter for anyone over the age of 65 years and owns and lives in their home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sewer/Garbage Bills are mailed 4 times a year; March, June, September, and December and due on the 30th of the month. The bills are mailed the first week of the month.
If you do not receive a bill this doesn’t mean the Borough has stopped charging you or that you don’t owe anything, you MUST pay the bill by the due date to avoid late fees.
Please call the Borough Office 610-258-6142.
