Linesville updating garbage regulations
Written by David Shaef

Currently residents are required to put their household garbage in bags and in trash cans with lids but that will change under the new rules as the trash/household garbage can be set out in bags for the weekly pickup.

Council will have to change its property maintenance code to dovetail with the new garbage ordinance when adopted.

If an animal gets into trash bags clean up must be within 24 hours.

Unlimited pickup will continue though council wanted to make sure items from outside the borough are not brought in to take advantage of trash pickup, meaning if one held a family party, etc., out of the borough one could bring that trash in for pickup but that should not happen on a weekly basis.
