Burning

Our hauler picks up 99% of all household waste, recycling, and leaf and yard waste. The Millfair Compost & Recycling Center is open 6 days a week April 1st through the second week in December for all your Leaf Waste*. Therefore, there is no need to burn anything. Pennsylvania Law (Act 101) and Millcreek Ordinance (Nos. 2000-1 & 2000-14), available online, states it is illegal to burn ANYTHING that is able to be recycled or composted.

These laws include the following:

• Cans, Bottles and Glass
• Newspapers and Magazines
• Corrugated Cardboard
• Mixed Paper and Mixed Cardboard
• Garbage
• Food Waste
• Leaf Waste* - includes leaves, garden residue, shrubbery, tree trimmings, and similar material, but NOT GRASS clippings.

Please don’t burn, instead, please RECYCLE or COMPOST.
