Dallas Borough's Road Department will continue to collect the volume of waste from borough res- idences until the backlog has been completely collected. Residents are advised to place all yard waste at the curb in containers or bags for pick-up. Yard waste deposited curbside and not placed in containers will not be picked up until all other collections have been completed. Also, residents should use caution not to place any items within the road right of way, as this is a violation of borough ordinances that may result in a citation from the Dallas Borough Police Department. After the Borough's Road Department has completed collection of the backlog of the fall seasons’ waste, residents should note that only a limited amount of yard waste may be placed curbside for pick-up weekly. A limited number of green containers have been made available to the Borough through the auspices of DAMA. Each container holds approximately 25 gallons and the Borough advises each household to restrict the amount of yard waste to one container weekly. Contact the Dallas Borough Road Department at 674-5362 to request on of the green yard waste recycling con- tainers.
