Yard Waste, Fall Leaf and Christmas Tree Collection
Bridgeport Borough Fall Leaf Collection
Bridgeport Borough Public Works performs residential fall leaf collection every year in November. Fall leaf collection occurs every Monday and Friday in November.
Please gather leaves along the curb line of your property, unbagged. Public Works will remove them from the curb line of your property during their normal daytime hours of operation.
Yard Waste Collection
J.P. Mascaro, the borough’s contracted residential waste hauler, performs two (2) yard waste collection days every year.
The 2024 Mascaro yard waste collection dates are May 11 and October 12.
Please adhere to the following guidelines when putting yard waste out for collection:
- Please place all grass and small clippings into biodegradable yard waste bags.
- For sticks, branches, and tree limbs: Please cut all wood to a length of 3 feet or smaller, and bundle with twine or string into bundles no heavier than twenty (20) pounds.
Christmas Tree Collection: J.P. Mascaro also performs Christmas Tree collection one time every year. The 2024 Christmas Tree collection date is January 20, 2024.
Heuser Park Composting Site in Upper Merion Township
All Bridgeport residents are permitted to use the composting site at Heuser Park in Upper Merion, 694 W. Beidler Road for disposal of residential yard waste. A couple notes to be aware of before going:
1. You must bring photo ID to verify that you are a Bridgeport resident. Only Upper Merion and Bridgeport residents are permitted to utilize this service.
2. This service is for residential yard waste only. Commercial landscapers will be denied access.
3. You must have grass clippings separated from tree and bush trimmings, but you may bring both. There are two separate dumping locations for each of these within the site - please tell the attendant what you have and they'll direct you where to dump each. This may be subject to change, please contact Upper Merion Township at 610-265-2600 for updates and questions.
4. You must check in at the weigh scale shed as you enter the park, and drive over the weigh scales before entering the composting site. All vehicles are weighed before and after dumping to accurately gather tonnage data. All visitors, both Upper Merion and Bridgeport residents, will be assessed a "per load" fee of $10.
5. No dirt, rocks or mud, thus no sod as well. If you have large root balls that you are discarding, you must hose/knock off as much dirt from between the roots as possible before dumping. Dirt and rocks damage the grinder used to process the yard waste.
Please feel free to take advantage of this service available to all Borough residents. Bridgeport Borough thanks Upper Merion Township for continuing to provide this ability to the Bridgeport community. Please visit the Upper Merion Township website for more information including hours of operation.
