Yard Waste Disposal

The Quaker Valley Council of Governments has begun offering a new drop-off yard waste program.

It has partnered with Michael Brothers Hauling to allow residents of member communities, including Ben Avon, to dispose of grass clippings, leaves, brush, wood chips, concrete chunks, dirt, and small logs at the company’s facility at 408 Hoffman Road, Reserve Township.

People who want to drop off yard waste must present their driver’s license to verify residency.

Commercial vendors are prohibited from participating.

Drop-off hours are from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays.

Email Michael Brothers at info@mbhauling.com or call them at 412-835-6428 for more information.
