Riff Raff Week October 5th-9th, 2020

September 23, 2020   |  Email This Post  |  Print This Post

Borough customers are permitted to place bulk waste at the CURB only for pickup by Borough staff. There will be no charge for this extra pickup service. The bulk waste pickup will follow the same routes and schedules as the regular refuse collection service, with one pickup truck-size load limit per customer. The refuse crew will not make extra trips to an address.

Tires, batteries, items too heavy for two people to handle, construction material, paint cans, ammunition and hazardous waste cannot be picked up during bulk waste collection. Residents are not to use cardboard boxes for items if it is raining or it is calling for rain as it makes it difficult for the refuse crew to pick up the boxes without them falling apart. The Borough reserves the right to not collect if there is too much or it is too heavy.

Please separate all Electronics when placing items at the curb. Most electronics need to be recycled and will not be accepted as bulk waste. Electronics that need to be recycled are:

  • Desktop, Laptop & Server Computers
  •  Cell Phones/PDAs
  • TVs & Monitors (CRT/LCD/LED/Plasma/Flat Screen)
  • Desktop Printers
  • Desktop Copiers
  • UPS Systems/Battery Backups
  • Computer Peripherals (Keyboards, Mice, Speakers, etc.)
  • PC Peripherals & Components (External/Internal Drivers/PC Cards/Hubs)
  • Cables/Wiring

If your electronic item is not on the list above, it cannot be accepted for recycling and should be placed with bulk waste.

Charming. Beautiful. Unique. All words used to describe Talleyrand Park. Talleyrand is one of the region’s most visited parks and covers 3.5 acres.

–Honor a soldier or service person.
Funds raised during this event will be used to support future improvements to Talleyrand Park. Bricks to be installed near the waterfall viewing area, behind the gazebo. To order online go to TalleyrandPark.org or click here for an order form.

Important Borough Information

July 10, 2020   |  Email This Post  |  Print This Post

Bellefonte Borough Residents:

Please note beginning Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17th, refuse will begin at 5:00 AM due to the high temperatures.  Please make sure your refuse is set out the night before your scheduled pickup no earlier than 6:00 PM.

In addition, Borough Council established new dates for Riff-Raff and the Borough-wide Yard Sale. The Borough-wide yard sale is scheduled for Thursday & Friday, October 2 & 3. Riff Raff will be held October 5th thru the 9th on your refuse day. Again, Riff-Raff for this year will be held October 5th thru the 9th.

Finally, we are still encouraging all Borough residents who have not yet completed the Census 2020 to do so. Currently, 70% of all Borough residents have completed the census. If you have not done so, you can respond online, by phone, or by mail. You should have received an envelope in the mail from the United States Census Bureau. Completing the Census helps future funding efforts for our community. The process takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
