The Borough of Mifflinburg will not begin leaf pick-up until the first week of October.  Please DO NOT place your leaves in the streets until after that date.  Placing them in the street when there is no pick-up can cause localized flooding during heavy rainfall events and could cause damage to either your neighbor or your own properties and you can be held liable for those damages as well as be subject to fines and penalties.  If you have leaves ready prior to the first week in October, please bag and hold them until pick-up begins.

Residents are reminded that Borough crews will try to follow the weekly street-cleaning schedule for leaf pickup.  As the volume of downed leaves increases, so will the collection schedule.  Please pile your leaves at the curbside but do not attempt to dispose of garden waste, yard waste or tree trimmings with the leaves.  The leaf vacuums are not designed or constructed to vacuum these items, which may lead to equipment breakdowns.

Also remember that the vacuum has to be able to reach the leaves in order to pick them up, so please do not park on or near piles of leaves.  Thank you for your cooperation as we all try to keep our attitudes aloft as the leaves fall!

The Borough will stop leaf collection on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, in order to transition equipment for snow removal.  Please have all of your leaves gathered and placed by the curb prior to that date.  Individuals who place leaves in the street after this date will be responsible for removing them, themselves, so they do not cause issues with storm water drainage.

Snow Removal Reminders Residents are reminded to remove all vehicles from public streets in instances when snowstorms are imminent. Please avoid parking in dead ends and cul-de-sacs during snow removal efforts.  This will greatly help Borough employees in their plowing efforts.  If you have available space on your property for off-street parking, please use it when it snows. We are also offering another reminder to mark the edge of your lawns with brightly colored stakes or flags to aid in locating where the edge of the pavement ends during snow plowing. Please remove all ornamental decorations, basketball structures, etc. that may end up in the path of the snow plows.  These simple yet conscientious efforts will greatly assist the Borough crew in clearing the snow and minimizing personal property damage. Last, but not least in the way of cold weather and snow reminders, please keep your sidewalks clear. The Borough has ordinances which require that property owners clear their sidewalks of snow within 24 hours of a snowfall event.  This ordinance is intended as a Public Safety measure.  Getting the snow or slush off of your sidewalks as quickly as possible helps prevent the buildup of ice and snow from becoming a hazard to pedestrians and a liability to you. Thank you for your cooperation!
