Please bag all waste before placing in your cart.  This keeps your cart clean, our employees safe, and prevents litter from blowing throughout our community.  Extra bags are permitted but they must be a single tied bag.  No trash should be placed in any box and left to be picked up. 

 

BULK PICK UP

One bulk item is permitted each week, no tags are needed and there is no additional charge.  Examples of bulk items include mattress, box spring, construction debris, carpet roll, furniture, fixtures, etc.  Mattress or box springs must be wrapped or bagged in plastic or they will not be picked up.  Carpet rolls should be bundled and tied, and no longer than 4 ft. in length. Construction debris is limited to 1 container or bundle of less than, all nails, tacks and screws must be removed. White goods (large household appliances) are NOT accepted.  If you are putting out an air conditioner or dehumidifier Freon must be removed by a Certified Technician and a tag placed on the unit.

BRANCH PICK UP  Branch pick up occurs twice a year once in May and once in September.  Tree trimmings must be placed at your trash pick-up site by 7 am.  Due to the time needed to make all the stops in town, the truck will spend no more than 10 minutes at any one location.   The bottom of the trimmings needs to be facing the direction of traffic and be no wider then 4" in diameter. No leaves or yard waste will be collected. Thank you for your cooperation.

CHRISTMAS TREES  RED HILL RESIDENTS ONLY (you may be asked to show proof of residency) May bring Christmas Trees to the borough from January 1st thru January 21st. Area to leave trees is marked and is located next to the mulch pile. Other dumping will be subject to $1,000 fine.
