Attention Brush and Grass Pickup Customers
Bellefonte Borough is scheduling brush/grass pickups for Wednesdays through May 2020.  This revised schedule is due to continued coronavirus precautions.  Please be sure to place your containers out Tuesday nights after 6:00 p.m. We can only take what is in the purchased brush or grass containers.
If you are interested in adding this service to your bill, please contact the Borough office at 355-1501, Ext. 210, and leave a message with your name, address, phone number and what type(s) of container(s) you have (brush, grass, one of each, etc).
If you wish to start up this service, the brush/grass containers are $60 each (the cost of the container). The Borough accepts cash or check for this. Please be sure to indicate which container you would prefer–brush or grass. The refuse crew will deliver the container once payment has been received. You will also need to include the $10 annual fee for this service.
Thank you for your understanding.

The Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority (CCRRA) has announced that curbside recycling service will resume on Monday, April 27.

As curbside recycling starts back up again, please follow the guidelines below to keep collectors and residents safe:

  • If someone in your household has been sick, is quarantined or has tested positive for COVID-19, please hold your recycling at home for one week before placing it at the curb.
  • Protect yourself, your neighbors and our community.  Do not place possibly contaminated items at the curb.
  • Trash Guidelines: All trash should be bagged prior to being placed inside or next to your trash can. Bags should be tied or closed to prevent trash from falling out.

CCRRA would like to thank its customers for their patience during this temporary disruption of service. They look forward to your continued cooperation and participation.
