Curbside Yard Waste Pickup - March 31, 2025 through October 20, 2025
Yard waste pick-up is available through the Emmaus Public Works Department.
Yard waste will be collected by Public Works personnel on Mondays, except holidays (5/26 and 9/1). When a holiday falls on a Monday, curbside yard waste will be picked up on the Tuesday following the holiday.
Yard waste must be placed at the curb in approved yard waste bags, which can be purchased at most hardware stores. There is a 5 bag, 50 lb. limit. More than 5 bags will not be collected. The Borough encourages anyone with large quantities of bags to utilize our Compost Site located on Klines Lane.
Yard waste is limited to organic biodegradable materials such as grass, leaves, hedge trimmings, leafy plants, and small sticks and twigs. Please separate grass, twigs, and hedge trimmings into different bags. Bags contaminated with stones, trash, mulch, or dirt will not be collected. Material not separated properly will not be collected.
Email pweiant@emmauspa.gov or call 610-928-1133 to have your bags collected. You must call by 11:00 a.m. on the date of pick-up to be included for that day. Any calls received after 11:00 a.m. will be picked up on the next pick up date.
