Reminder: Waste Yard Pick Up Starts Today

Today marks the beginning of yard waste pick-up in Lower Moreland Township. Please make sure when bundling branches they are tied with a bio-degradable twine/string. No rocks or dirt are to be placed in the leaf bags.

The collection will be every Monday, from April to December.

Loose leaves should be placed to the curb for collection as early as possible, and during collection weeks must be placed curbside by 7:00 a.m. Monday morning. Leaves are to be left on the edge of the property and not in the street. Do not place stones, branches, or brush in leaf piles.

The collection of leaves in biodegradable bags is preferred due to the heavy volume the process may take several weeks to complete in peak collection periods. Place your bags several feet from your trash because our Public Works Department does leaf collection.

Biodegradable bags are available at the Township Building for three (3) for $1.00 or a bundle of 50 for $16.00. Since bag costs are partially paid for by tax dollars, this offer is extended to Township residents only, and proof of residency may be required. Leaves placed in plastic or seasonal pumpkin bags will not be collected.
