9. Grass & Leaf Pick Up

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has mandated that North Fayette Township recycle leaves and grass as part of its overall recycling program. This means that any leaf or grass waste that our Sanitation Department picks up must be taken to an approved composting site. This mandate makes it necessary for the township to make changes in the way we handle leaf and grass pick up. All leaves and grass that are to be picked up by our Sanitation Department must be placed in "craft" type biodegradable brown paper bags. This type of bag is available at Home Depot, Lowes, Moore’s Hardware, Imperial Hardware, and Agway. Leaves or Grass put out for pick up in any other type container will not be accepted. We will pick up leaves and grass only the weeks that we are not recycling cans and bottles. If you are already composting or disposing of leaves in some other way, you can continue to do so. This is another step in the effort of save landfill space. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has good suggestions on the website called GRASS CYCLING IT'S OK TO "LET IT LAY". Should you have any questions, please call the office at 412-788-4888 or 724-693-9601.
