Branch & Limb Pickup

In 2023, the Borough of Crafton, purchased a new Vermer BC1500 Brush Chipper. This equipment allows the Crafton Public Works Department to process and facilitate the recycling of wood waste in the Borough. This service is offered April 15th through November 15th of each year.

Collection of limbs and branches will begin on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and will continue every other week on Wednesdays until November 13th, 2024, weather permitting. The schedule will coincide with the recycle pickup week, including Holiday Delays.

Residents MUST request to be added to the list for removal and chipping of eligible tree limbs and wood waste by submitting a service request at the link below or by calling the Borough Administrative Office. Single limbs must be less than 5 inches in diameter and no longer than 10 feet in length. Volume of materials should not exceed what would generally fit into a pick-up truck. Materials can either be chipped onsite and removed or left for use by the resident.

NOTE: Hedge cuttings, limbs and branches should not be placed in your regular weekly garbage collection. These are considered “prohibited materials” by PA Act 101 and are recommended to be composted. Waste haulers have been notified to NOT pick these items up.

Bagged Leaves or Bagged Yard Debris

Public works will also pick up bagged leaves and/or bagged yard debris on these days. Please place leaves and debris in eco-friendly bags and place at the curb on the scheduled pickup date. To request pick up of bagged leaves or yard debris please submit a service request at the link below or by calling the Borough Administrative Office
