Organic Yard Waste Drop-Off Facility Registration Information
In, May 2020, the South Heidelberg Township Board of Supervisors voted to institute several changes to improve the operation of the Township’s yard waste site to include educating our citizens on its use and providing security and access improvements. These changes are instituted to eliminate improper use, ensure citizens/taxpayers (not contractors) can use the site and save taxpayer dollars through reduced costs to operate the site.
