LEAF COLLECTION ENDING

 

Leaf collection will be coming to an end in Perkasie Borough.  The last day for residents to place leaves curbside for pick up will be Sunday December 12, 2020.

Public Works crews will make one more round of collection after this date, weather permitting, to collect the final time.  The final day for our crews to pick up leaves will be December 17, 2020.  Residents shall not place leaves out for collection after this date as they will cause a problem for snow removal and residents could face possible fines as per ordinance.

Residents are reminded about the yard waste drop off at the Borough Recycle Center at 311 S. 9^th St. where leaves can be dropped off after the date of December 19.

The Borough will be scheduling a Spring time leaf collection program.  The date for that collection will be announced in March 2022.

The Liberty Bell Trail Feasibility Study 2020 Update has been completed. This project was financed, in part, by grants from the Community Conservation Partnership Program, Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation; and the Greenways, Trails & Recreation Program under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. Gilmore & Associates completed the update to the 2005 study in December of 2020 and the executive summary and maps are below. This was a multi municipal project and we thank our surrounding communities for their participation and encouragement. This will be a major accomplishment for the trail system and we hope to get started with smaller projects and gain additional grant funding to make this Corridor of History a reality.
