The State Law:

Section 1501 of PA Act 101 stipulates the requirements for all households and commercial, institutional and municipal establishments in mandated communities to separate leaf waste for collection. (A mandated community is any municipality with 5,000 or more residents). Compliance with Act 101, therefore, means that in mandated communities, leaf waste is not to be thrown out with household waste or burned as a means of disposal. Leaf waste is defined in Act 101 as "leaves, garden residues, shrubbery and tree trimmings, and similar material, but not including grass clippings. In addition, Section 1501(c)(2) of the Act requires mandated communities to have a scheduled day, at least once per month, during which separated materials are to placed at the curbside for collection. The PA DEP will consider a mandated municipality to be in compliance with the leaf waste requirements of Act 101 if there is one collection for leaves between Oct. 1 and March 1, one collection for shrubbery and tree trimmings between March 1 and Oct. 1 and provide a drop off location. The drop off location is Barnside Farm Composting, 991 Haldeman Road, Schwenksville, PA 19473.
