Borough Yard Waste Pick-Up Will Begin Oct. 15

Hellertown Public Works Director Tom Henshaw announced Oct. 1 that his department's annual curbside fall yard waste pick-up will begin the week of Oct. 15.

Editor's Note: This story has been updated and corrected. An earlier published version indicated that leaf pick-up will begin Oct. 15. In fact, curbside yard waste pick-up will begin on that date. Leaf pick-up will begin later in the fall. We apologize for any confusion the error may have caused.
