In particular, note the new trash company, Park's Trash Service also doing business as Apple Valley Waste Services and Patriot Disposal -- you may see trucks with any of these names on their sides. The cost for residents with full service is $56.00, and seniors (65 +) are $50.00. If you have not been receiving the senior discount, please fill out a new application informing the township. Trash and separate recycling pickup is on Mondays, except after major holidays or when ice and snow prevent the trucks from safely accessing some areas.

Road conditions, Tuesday 10 AM 3/17/2026

Overnight the mountain got a heavy dusting of ice & snow. Though road surfaces with full sun will melt soon enough, watch out for persistent ice patches in shaded spots. The high winds brought down trees and branches in a few spots. At this time we are aware of a blockage on Cold Springs Road. Michaux Road is blocked between Camp Michaux and Rte 233 by phone wires on ground, and a big tree trunk on wires close to the ground. There may be other problem areas — be ready to stop!

UPDATE 2/24: the road has been reopened. Please be aware that Old Railroad Bed Road is closed since late morning 2/23/20...

UPDATE 2/24: the road has been reopened.

Please be aware that Old Railroad Bed Road is closed since late morning 2/23/2026, due to a tree down on power lines and blocking the road. Met Ed is aware. You can drive to the Pole Steeple parking lot but not much past there (the blockage is in the vicinity of 90 Old RR Bed).

Pine Grove Furnace State Park got 4 and 1/2 inches of snow, while on the ridgetops to the north and west of the park it was closer to 7 inches. Major roads and parking lots are mostly cleared (great job by the Township and Park road crews, and PENNDOT too!) but be prepared for patches of ice and generally sloppy conditions. Also, as winds are picking up this afternoon, more trees already laden with snow may fall!

Is a dumpster at the Township building for your use.
