Auburn Garbage Day

Garbage is picked up on Friday unless we have a Monday holiday, then pick up will be Saturday morning. Please note that the Borough has a five bag limit. Do not place large items out for pick-up! This is a violation of Borough ordinance.

Leaves and Yard Debris Collection

The Borough's road crew continues to collect leaves and yard debris. Materials must be placed curbside in bags or containers. Branches must be cut and bundled.
