Parkside Borough
SMALL but STRONG
PUBLIC SAFETY COVERAGE UPDATE

Council voted last year for B&L Disposal to continue collecting our trash and recycling. The cost was the same for them to collect every week rather than twice a month, so you should put your recycling out every Tuesday night for pick-up Wednesday morning.
