During a snow emergency, all vehicles should be removed from the street and the Borough’s snow emergency procedures must be followed.

Homeowners have a few options to help minimize the impact to driveways. The first is to remove snow only to approximately 10’ from the end of the driveway until the final cleanup plowing is complete. The final cleanup plowing typically happens at the end of the plowing event to get the snow back as far as possible. Another method is to clean a 10’ area on the right side of your driveway facing it from the roadway, which allows the snow to be deposited from the plow before it reaches your driveway.
Refuse & Recycling
Refuse MUST be at your regular collection point by 7:00am on your scheduled days, but no earlier than the night before. Bags and/or containers must not exceed 50 pounds and must be a manageable size (containers cannot be larger than 32 gallons). Up to three bags/containers may be left on collection days; when refuse collection is cancelled, you may leave up to three extra bags at the curb on your next collection day at no charge.
Recycling containers MUST be at your regular collection point by 7:00am on your scheduled days. Containers must not exceed 50 pounds and must be a manageable size (containers cannot be larger than 32 gallons).
Dates will be publicized on the Refuse & Recycling page as well as in the Kutzonian newsletter. If you have any yardwaste after the advertised collection has occurred, please take it to the Yardwaste Depot on Roeller Alley, right behind the Kutztown Municipal Building. (Leaves or tree limbs left curbside after collection dates may lead to enforcement actions by the Community Development Office.)
