MAILBOXES AND SNOW REMOVAL

Each year the Township schedules a preliminary run of Snow Routes to identify obstacles and areas of concern for our truck operators. This allows our truck operators to identify mailboxes that stand in the way of the snow plow. Postcards are mailed annually to residents to alert them to the potential problem.

MAILBOX DAMAGE

Elizabeth Township repairs or replaces only a mailbox and/or post that is actually struck by the snow plow blade. Usually a paint mark or truck tire tracks supply evidence of a mailbox strike.

 

Elizabeth Township does not repair or replace mailboxes and/or posts that fall from the force of the plowed snow.

 

Mailboxes and supporting posts must be installed to withstand the rigors of snow removal, including the force of the snow pushed from the street onto the roadside.

 

Contact Elizabeth Township Road Department to report a plow damaged mailbox, and a representative will investigate.

LEAF/BRANCHES/BRUSH COLLECTION SERVICES

In 2022, Elizabeth Township started a new system for organic material collection (leaves, branches, brush, etc...).

​

The 24/7 brush drop-off bins previously stationed outside of the Municipal Building will NO longer be available.  Moving forward, only the LAST Thursday of each month will be dedicated to brush drop-off, unless otherwise noted.

​

2024 Leaf and Branch Drop-Off Dates:

  • February 29th 
  • March 28th 
  • April 25th 
  • May 30th

*ALL DROP-OFF TIMES ARE SCHEDULED FOR 8:00 am to 7:00 pm*

​

To Participate:

​

  • You must come and drop off the approved materials during the scheduled days/times each month.  If you miss the drop-off day, you will have to wait until the next month to participate.  

  • You must be an Elizabeth Township resident to reap the benefits of the brush collection days.  You will be REQUIRED to show an ID that proves you are an Elizabeth Township Resident to a staff member by ringing the door bell on the Municipal Building front door.​  An employee will be available during all drop-off times.

  • The drop-off collection will take place at the Municipal Building (522 Rock Run Road Elizabeth, PA 15037) in front of the side fence.  Look for the drop-off sign.​
