SEASONAL NEWS
Spring & Summer
PARK SHELTERS
May 1 – October 31
MAINTAIN PROPERTY BEYOND FENCES
- Citizens are reminded that they have to maintain their properties according to ordinances beyond fence lines if their properties extend to roadways and allyways. Weeds and trees must not be allowed to block or encroach upon roadways.
NO GRASS CLIPPNGS, LEAVES ON ROADWAYS
- 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.
Fall
2025 LEAF COLLECTION
October 15 – December 1
- Leaf collection begins October 15 and ends on December 1st.

- 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.
- For direct service, please call the Municipal Building at 724-847-1867.

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.
