Township Ordinances Accessible Online

 The Township Burning Ordinance limits burning of ‘ordinary’ (domestic) waste materials (paper, cartons, boxes, yard waste, wood, and other similar items) by residents to ‘dawn to dusk’; see on-line ordinance for excluded items. PLEASE use common sense! Many items that cannot be burned can be recycled. All fires are to be completely extinguished before leaving it unattended. Recreational fires are permitted by Ordinance #459 (Chapter 7 of the Code of Ordinances.) 724-287-77-69 is the 911 non-emergency contact number to call prior to an open burn. PLEASE be considerate of your neighbors and do NOT permit leaves and other ‘allowed’ materials to be left smoldering after dusk. ALL COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES, NON-RESIDENTIAL and MULTI-FAMILY are PROHIBITED from ANY burning at ANY time per the Dept. of Environmental Protection.

Please review the entire Ordinance; or stop at the Municipal Building to pick up a copy.
