Regular Residential Garbage Collection
Residential garbage collection in the borough is provided by Bankosh Sanitation. Garbage is collected every Tuesday and residents are asked to put their garbage out on Monday night as Bankosh typically arrives in town quite early.
Residents are limited to three 30 gallon garbage bags for regular garbage collection. Anyone with additional bags of garbage may contact Bankosh Sanitation or the borough office to obtain stickers allowing collection of the extra bags for $1 per sticker.
Residents with larger items of garbage may also contact Bankosh to discuss pick up options that may include an extra fee.
Residents are not billed individually for garbage collection, instead the borough uses tax funds to pay for garbage collection on behalf of all residents.
Bankosh Sanitation phone number: (724) 461-4185
