Neighborhood Services: Sanitation and Recycling
The scope of responsibilities also include weekly refuse collection, recyclables collection and transportation to the Harrisburg Resource Recovery Facility. Residential customers are provided weekly service while commercial accounts are collected up to six times weekly.
This bureau also performs organized neighborhood bulk cleanups, leaf collection in the fall and Christmas tree pick-up after Christmas. Street cleaning is performed year-round by crews that operate motorized street sweepers and flusher trucks that keep down the dust. Another project is the demolition of blighted and deteriorating properties. A four-man crew knocks down the property, hauls away all debris and backfills the foundation with dirt.
