NO GRASS CLIPPNGS AND LEAVES ON ROADWAYS
Residents are warned, it is illegal in the Commonwealth and West Mayfield Borough to blow grass clippings and leaves into the street. If you do, you are required to remove them immediately from the street when finished. Grass clippings and leaves left in the street are a severe roadway hazard to vehicles, especially motorcycles and bicycles. Additionally, this material gets washed away by storm water and deposited in the water system. This causes storm drains to clog and back up causing flooding. The grass also releases nitrogen into the water system which is not good for the quality of our water.
PARK SHELTERS
The park season officially begins the Friday before Memorial Day. Park hours are from sunrise to sunset. Park shelters may only be reserved between the Friday immediately before Memorial Day through Labor Day. Reservations can be made up to one year in advance on a first-come basis.

LEAF COLLECTION
Leaf collection will begin in West Mayfield on Nov. 1st and end on December 1st.
All leaves must be raked close to the side of the road. Please do not place leaves on roadways. Leaves placed in bags won’t be accepted.
The public works department will canvass the streets and alleys looking for piles of leaves, but to arrange for pick-up, call the municipal building at (724) 843-8330 and leave a message.
WINTER
SNOW PLOWING & WALKWAYS
The borough maintenance department is committed to keeping roadways clear and passable during all weather events. Residents are asked to keep vehicles off roadways when possible and to clear their roadways of obstacles that might affect snow plowing.
Due to the high cost of road salt, the borough does not salt alley ways. Sand is used instead. However, if an alley way is impassible due to icy conditions please contact the borough.
The borough maintains all walkways on its property. By ordinance, residents are responsible for keeping their walkways clear and passable.
ALL YEAR
HEALTHY SEWERS
Residents are reminded to help keep our sewer system in top working condition or we will continue to pay thousands of tax dollars to fix clogged and broken sewer pipes.
Only toilet paper and human waste should be flushed down toilettes. Nothing else should be flushed down drains even if labeled “flushable,” “safe for toilets,” or “biodegradable.”
Do not use the toilette as a trash can. Do not flush:
Cotton balls and cotton swabs
Dental floss and dental picks
Menstrual products such as pads or tampons
Paper towels and tissues
Wipes and cleaning cloths
Hair
Medicine
Burnt matches
Household cleaning chemicals
Household hazardous wastes (paint, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers)
