Acting in my official capacity as Fire Prevention Officer of the Borough of Bedford, I hereby declare to be in immediate effect a ban on all out-of-doors burning within the Borough of Bedford. This ban is being enacted as a result of the prolonged lack of sustained precipitation and to prevent the unnecessary destruction of property caused by the spreading of flames from unattended or poorly attended fires.
Jay Speicher,
Fire Prevention Officer, Borough of Bedford
Bedford Township and Bedford Borough are holding their annual Bulky Waste Day on Saturday, April 29, 2023, from 8 am – 12 pm. Location is Bedford Township Municipal Building, 1007 Shed Road, Bedford.
PRESS RELEASE
The Borough of Bedford will begin the annual collection of loose leaves on Monday, November 14, weather permitting. To facilitate collection by workers, most property owners and tenants should rake their leaves directly onto the edge of the street, adjacent to the curb/edge of the street. Only property owners and tenants whose lands are located near to and upstream of a stormwater catchbasin or are located in an area prone to street flooding after severe rainstorms are to place loose leaves along the curbing/edge of the street but not on the street. Tree/shrub limbs, grass, flower/garden plants, rocks, blacktop, garbage, and rubbish, etc. should not be mixed in with the leaves as these items become lodged in the leaf vacuum hoses and cause unnecessary downtime.
If bagging leaves, do NOT use plastic bags. Only leaves placed in recyclable paper bags will be collected.
The public is advised that it is illegal to burn leaves or any other material on the streets.
2022 Leaf Collection Tentative Schedule
Please refer to attached map.
YELLOW = Week 1: November 14 – 18
GREEN = Week 2: November 21 – 23
PINK = Week 3: November 28 – December 2
COLLECTION SCHEDULE MAP
This schedule is subject to change and crews may move onto the next area if workloads permit. Property owners should notify their landscapers of the above schedule and plan accordingly.
