There will be a public meeting on 10/7/24 @ 5:30 PM @ 18 N. Main St. to discuss the aggregation that is on the ballot. This will be chance for the public to ask questions about the proposal.

Brush pickup for the Village of Mechanicsburg will begins Oct. 7 and end Dec. 6. Remember to follow these rules for Brush Pickup:

​Village of Mechanicsburg Street Department Brush Pick up
 
Brush pick up is provided as a free service to our residents who are cleaning up the yard around their homes.  Brush is picked up on Monday.
 
Leaf pickup begins the first Monday in October and ends the first Friday in December. Any leaves not captured within these dates will need bagged for pick-up.
 
Please follow these rules:
 
Brush cannot be larger than 4” in diameter or longer than 4’ long and must be in manageable bundles.
 
No yard waste. (Grass clippings, sod, leaf’s etc.).  No plastic bags. 
 
Do not blow grass clippings into the street.  This washes into the catch basins and causes them to clog.
 
No thorns, briars, or poison ivy in bundles.
 
We will not pick up trimmings done by a private contractor.  They are required to haul away their own debris.
 
Do not place brushes in the street.  Please place the brush between the street and sidewalk.  The debris could clog our storm sewers if it is placed in the street.
 
No trash.  (Building materials, fence post, shingles etc).
 
No stumps or bushes with root balls
 
Any piles not adhering to the rules will be rejected and will not be reconsidered for pick up.
 
Per Ordinance 16-06 Prohibiting disposal of leaves and other waste matter into storm sewers within the Village:
 
Residents will be warned for disposing grass clippings into the gutters while mowing and any other violations will be documented and can be charged with a minor misdemeanor for each day of non-compliance.
