Please call the Union County Planning Department or check their website for details about recycling options for electronics.

Borough employees will be operating the drop-off site during the hours listed above and assisting residents with off-loading of vehicles into the waste containers..  Unfortunately, the Borough will NOT be available to pick-up any waste material at residences or businesses.  There will be no exceptions.  Absolutely no other drop-off arrangements will be permitted other than as noted above.  Dropping off or dumping of materials at times other than as noted herein will be considered littering and subject to legal action and/or prosecution.  Dropping off or dumping of unacceptable items will also be subject to legal action and/or prosecution.  The site will open and close promptly at the times listed.

Mifflinburg Borough Council has recently determined that since this month’s electric bills reflect usage for the cold weather snap experienced in February, that they will permit customers to make written payment arrangements for up to 3 months for this billing.  Customers interested in this offer will be required to come into the Borough Office during normal business hours and sign written payment arrangements for this bill.

Customers are reminded that if they fail to make the agreed upon payments, normal collection procedures will apply and further payment arrangements will not be permitted.  All other monthly bills shall be handled following normal collection procedures.

Additionally, Borough Council will be waiving all penalties for March 2026.

The Borough of Mifflinburg is looking for a CPA firm to complete the 2025 Audit.

Interested parties should review the RFP below and then contact the Borough Manager with any questions.

Audit RFP

The Borough of Mifflinburg is one of 35 Pennsylvania communities that owns its electrical system.  Our Borough owns and operates the electric utility distribution system dedicated to serving Mifflinburg’s residents and businesses. This decision was made in the early 1900’s by Mifflinburg’s leaders to ensure that our residents had the services they needed.

Owning our own electrical system has many benefits; one is that all decisions made regarding the operation of the system are made locally by the Borough’s Elected Officials, for the benefit of the community.  There are no shareholders demanding higher profits on their investment, just service and investment in the Mifflinburg community.  Another benefit is the swift local response to electrical outages, meaning there are only short interruptions in service.  Additionally, we have local employees to provide these services.

Mifflinburg Borough Council has entered into power supply agreements through the American Municipal Power Association.  These supply agreements extend over several years to help to stabilize the costs of energy to help to ensure that our energy rates are stabilized to some extent.

However, just like the larger electrical suppliers, not all components of our supply can be controlled locally since we are connected to a regional supply grid that helps to ensure that the lights remain on even during peak electricity demand days.  This regional supply grid (PJM Interconnection) must ensure that there is enough capacity within the grid to supply every customer’s needs all year long.

PJM analyzes the capacity available from all generators and the pricing for this capacity is determined through auctions held at predetermined times.  The most recent auctions have seen rates reach unprecedented levels which are driving all electric rates higher for every customer in the PJM service area.  Several factors have contributed to these increases:  rising demand nationwide and locally, more regulations regarding generation, fewer power plants in service and new generation not being built quickly enough.

In addition to these increased capacity costs, the Borough of Mifflinburg is also facing the loss of its’ largest customer for 2026.  This loss will be felt in many ways-most significantly in the loss of revenue and jobs.

Due to all of these factors and future uncertainties in the Electric Supply market, the Borough has been working closely with our Electrical Engineers to re-evaluate the Borough’s electric rate structure to meet these rising electric costs.  The Study prepared by the Utility Engineers can be found in the link below.   This study has recommended that the billing structure be changed to reflect the same structure in which the Borough is billed by their supplier.  This change in billing structure will simplify billing to some extent, but it is also designed to cover the increasing costs. Borough Council recognizes that these increases will affect every customer and has made every effort to cut costs and only increase rates the bare minimum required to meet the needs of operations.  Borough Council has also been very careful to ensure that the rates remain competitive with other area suppliers to ensure that the costs of living and doing business in Mifflinburg remain comparable to other communities in our area.

Greater Susquehanna Valley YMCA Supports Mifflinburg Families This Summer

Mifflinburg, PA — The Greater Susquehanna Valley YMCA stepped in this summer to help meet vital community needs in Mifflinburg, ensuring local children had access to healthy meals and safe recreation opportunities.

Each week throughout the summer, more than 143 children received nutritious food for breakfast and lunch—seven days a week— through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) operated by the Milton YMCA. This program helps fill the gap for families during the months when school meals are unavailable, ensuring that children remain nourished and ready to thrive.

In addition to food security, the YMCA partnered with the Mifflinburg Borough to help operate the Mifflinburg Pool, providing children and families with a safe and welcoming place to enjoy the summer. The Mifflinburg Kiwanis Club provided free swimming lessons to children in the beginner’s level.  Thanks to their generous support, the YMCA was able to offer 107 swim lessons to 88 local children, giving them life-saving water safety skills and building their confidence in and around the water.

“Feeding kids and teaching them how to be safe in the water are two of the most important ways we can serve our community,” said Angela Haines, GSV YMCA Director of Operations. “We’re grateful for the partnerships and generosity that made this possible in Mifflinburg.”

By working together, the Greater Susquehanna Valley YMCA, Mifflinburg Borough, Milton YMCA, and Mifflinburg Kiwanis Club helped strengthen the community, making sure every child had the opportunity for a healthier, safer summer.
