Changes to the Burning Ordinance
On July 11, 2017, the Board of Supervisors amended the Township Burning Ordinance to include the following.
- Residents are no longer permitted to burn any materials that the Township recycles, such as paper or cardboard. (Recycling bins are located in the Municipal Parking Lot)
- Days of burning have been limited to Thursday, Friday and Saturday. (Recreational fires for cookouts are permitted at all times).
- You are no longer permitted to burn leaves, branches or grass clippings.
The Township has made available a designated area at the municipal building for Township residents to bring their leaves, branches and grass clippings).
