Other Waste

There's a variety of other items that residents should know about in order to assist our Borough and improve overall services for everyone. In addition, there are a variety of basic resources that one should know about to ensure that disposal of waste does not negatively affect your and the Borough's sewers and other basic infrastructure.

Flushing of Certain Products

The sewer system is designed to dispose of very specific items. Using your toilet for disposal of many modern products will often result in blockages. The drains that connect your home to the sewer main are only big enough to carry water, toilet paper, and human waste. These drains are often no wider than 4 inches in diameter., Please visit the Flushing of Certain Products page to view items that should never be flushed.

Bulk Pickups

To ensure fairness and prevent abuses, each household is entitled to 4 bulk pickups per calendar year. Learn how to request a bulk pickup by visiting the Schedule a Bulk Pickup page.
