Unique to North Lebanon Township is the yard waste facility started at North Lebanon Township in 2004. Seeing a need for residents to have a place where they can dispose of brush, grass, and leaves, the Township went to the State Department of Environmental Protection and received approval to operate a yard waste facility. Using the cliché “we’ve created a monster” would be appropriate at this time. The yard waste facility has increased in popularity and has required a great deal of time. We still feel it is a great program and intend to continue this service to our residents!
Grasscycling
Grass clippings make up a large percentage of household waste produced each year and often the NLT Yardwaste Facility is overwhelmed with grass clippings. Residents are encouraged to utilize grasscycling or home composting as as alternative to disposing of grass clipplings. For more information on these methods, click below for a copy of Pa DEP’s Guide to Home Composting.
