Please be advised that as of Monday, August 26, 2024, the yard waste center on Hilltop Road will be closed to the public.

We are closing the center until approximately sometime before the end of October to allow for the renovation and expansion of the center. This work involves earth excavation, fencing, security systems and placement of large concrete blocks. It would be very unsafe to allow the public to continue to use the center while heavy equipment is moving around to complete the work.

During the time the center is closed, you are asked to hold your yard waste materials on your property, or place it in your trash. Any person caught dumping material at the center while it is under construction will be prosecuted. There are cameras at the county recycling center that will assist in catching any perpetrators.

When this work is completed, the center will re-open to Bern Township residents ONLY. The revised center will be larger, have fencing and access gates and a security system.
An email blast has already been sent to Twp residents, so be sure the Twp has your email address so you can get future updates.
