Yard waste pickup runs from April through November
2026 Trash & Recycling Schedule
Republic Services
The Borough is working with our hauler to improve service. To do that, appropriate borough staff needs to be notified of issues as soon as they occur. Submit your issues here: https://tinyurl.com/shoeyrefuse or contact administration@shoeyboro.org immediately with any concerns.
Please remember:
- The limit for trash is the equivalent of four 30-gallon trash bags or cans per week. The hauler will tag any items over the limit and will not remove the extra.
- When using a trash container, the bags must fit within the container and not be piled on top and overflowing the can.
- Containers may not weigh more than 75 pounds.
- If you are using a 55 gallon drum for a trash receptacle, please be sure to add handles and a lid.
- Do not use a recycling container for trash pick up.
- One bulk item per week may be placed out with your trash.
- Yard waste and leaves must be in biodegradable paper bags, not exceeding 30 pounds in weight.
- Tree branches and sticks should be bundled together, with a length not to exceed 3′.
- Be sure to have your items at the curbside the night before pick up day.
