Burning Ordinance Information [top]
Our hauler picks up 99% of all household waste, recycling and leaf and yard waste. Therefore, there is no need to burn anything. It is illegal by Pennsylvania Law (Act 101) and Millcreek Ordinance (2000-1 & 2001-14) to burn anything that must be recycled or composted. This includes all: cans, bottles and glass, newspapers and magazines, corrugated cardboard, mixed paper and mixed cardboard, garbage and food waste. Leaves and yard waste (includes leaves, garden residue, shrubbery, tree trimmings and similar materials, but not grass clippings). If you cannot leave the grass clippings on the lawn then you must bag this material as trash. Please don't burn, instead, please RECYCLE, or COMPOST.
