Yard Waste will be every first Monday in 2026:
Yard Waste will continue as a single monthly collection until the spring, with 6 additional collections in the months of April-May-June and September-October-November. This is due to low participation in July and August and resident feedback that April & May require more pick ups.These additional collections will be on the 3rd Monday of those months.

Interested in climate change? Let us know!
Borough Council recently adopted a Local Climate Action Policy, which provides an opportunity to establish a volunteer group that may eventually grow into an Environmental Advisory Council (EAC). WeConservePA provides many helpful resources about EACs on their website, https://weconservepa.org/, such as the following summary of an EAC:
Any municipality in Pennsylvania may establish an Environmental Advisory Council to tap the skills and volunteer energy of its citizens. Consisting of three to seven members appointed by the local government, an EAC can undertake a variety of conservation projects. It can also research issues and advise local government officials to help inform decision-making regarding the environment.
Interested in learning more? Please reply to rutledgecom...@gmail.com with your interest, and feel free to browse the WeConservePA website for more info about this new opportunity.
