Special Yard Waste Collection March 9 in Pottstown

Pottstown collects yard waste in brown leaf bags, a separate can with the lid off, or bundled with twine.

Due, no doubt, to the wet and windy season we're undergoing, the Borough of Pottstown has announced it will hold a special yard waste collection day on Wednesday, March 9.

The normal collection schedule will resume the first Wednesday of April, and will continue weekly each Wednesday, April 6 through Dec. 21. 

Remember, yard material does not go in a red or blue tote. 

A pile of branches like this will NOT be picked up by the borough.

It must be put in brown paper leaf bags, a separate can with the lid off, or be bundled with twine or rope (no metal) approximately 3-4 feet in length. 

Tree limbs must be no bigger than 5 inches in diameter. 

Yard material put out in plastic bags will not be taken. 

No grass clippings will be picked up. 

Place all yard material at the same location you place your trash and recycle containers for pick-up.
