Refuse Areas Consolidated
In York City, there are only two refuse districts. The first collection area is Monday/Thursday and the second area is Tuesday/Friday.
RECYCLING and YARD WASTE are collected MONDAYS in the Monday/Thursday area and TUESDAYS in the Tuesday/Friday area.
The First Change
For collections, the City is generally divided in half along Market Street. The North half, including both sides of Market Street, is the Monday/Thursday refuse district; the South half is the Tuesday/Friday refuse district.
The order in which collection routes are run may vary and customers are reminded that collections may be earlier or later than they are accustomed to.
Crews will not return for items that were not placed out on time.
To ensure collections, customers are reminded to place ALL items at the designated spot by 6 a.m. on their designated collection days. Items that are placed out late, after crews have already gone through, must be held until the next regularly scheduled collection day.
Remember, collections begin as early as 6 a.m. and may continue as late as 9 p.m. Customers may call York City’s Public Works office at 843-1240 or 849-2245 the following day to report a missed collection.
The Second Change
For the holiday collection schedule, when a holiday falls on A WEEKEND, SATURDAY or SUNDAY, there will be NO CHANGE to collections.
When a holiday falls on ANY WEEKDAY, MONDAY thru FRIDAY, ALL curbside collections city-wide (this means EVERYONE'S collections) that fall ON or AFTER the holiday will be delayed by (1) day, beginning with the holiday and continuing throughout the remainder of the affected week.
For example, if a holiday falls on Thursday, collections for Monday and Tuesday are not affected. However, ALL curbside collections for the remainder of that holiday week, Thursday and Friday, are delayed by (1) day.
For additional questions please call 717-849-2245.
