Haverford Township's Yard Waste Program
Haverford Township's Yard Waste Program
Benefits Residents
Haverford Township's composting and yard waste program has made significant advances towards diverting yard waste from our traditional trash stream - saving the Haverford Township Taxpayer well over $150,000.
Specifically, the composting program allows the Public Works staff to collect the leaves in the fall and process them throughout the winter and spring - creating excellent mulch material. Since the fall of 2009, over 6,000 tons of leaf and yard waste have been collected at the municipal recycling yard.
The program is working very well and the final composted/mulched material is now available for FREE to township residents.
Residents can pick up the material at the recycling yard or any of the locations identified below, or pay a nominal delivery fee of $40 for up to a truck load of the material. The Township composting site is located at the end of Hilltop Road which is off of Old West Chester Pike.
Additional information and directions can be obtained by calling the Haverford Township Public Works Department at (610-446-1000, extension 263).
By the end of the summer, any remaining compost material from the previous year will be used in the flower beds and other landscaping throughout the township and will also be available for sale to private contractors.
The township plans to continue expanding this program in order to reduce the trash stream - which will be beneficial to our operational cost and help accomplish our goal of a green friendly township.
Additional Composting Pick-up Locations:
1. Merry Place Parking Lot
2. Polo Field Parking Lot
3. Paddock Parking Lot
4. Steel Field Parking Lot
5. Nitre Hall Parking Lot
6. Veterans Field Parking lot
