Due to the planned reopening of the Marple plant/dump site after a two-week shutdown, the hold on bulk trash will end the week of October 17.
The Borough of Yeadon thanks you for your cooperation during this time.
Important Trash Collection Notice
There will be a two week shut down of the Marple plant/dump site, which means the Chester and Covanta plants will be the only ones in service. When Chester reaches their daily limit of tonnage, the collection stops. Covanta services both Delaware County and out of state trucks. As a result of these procedures, there will be much longer wait times and delays in service. Based on this situation, the trash hauler is requesting that residents hold their bulk items until this matter is resolved.
