Brush and Leaf Collection

TWPEC will once again provide fall brush and leaf collection, along with free drop-off opportunities at the Scott Road Transfer Station. This service is weather-dependent and will only take place if winter conditions do not arrive early.

The Scott Road Transfer Station will also accept brush and leaves on Wednesday, November 12 from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with fees waived. In addition, fees will be waived during regular operating hours throughout November.
