The Harris Township Planning Commission will be holding two open houses to gather public input on potential zoning changes in the Village of Boalsburg. Interested residents are welcome to attend, review the recommendations, ask questions, and share feedback. Public input will be considered before any final proposals are forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. Open houses will be held October 26 at noon and October 27 at 7 p.m. in the Township Meeting Room at 224 East Main Street, Boalsburg.
Fall brush collection will begin on October 26th . This is a one-time only collection, so please have your brush at the curb by 7:00 AM on the 26th to ensure collection. Please note that it generally takes us about a week to collect brush in the Township, so your pile may sit for a few days until we get to it.
Fall leaf collection will begin officially on November 2nd. However, as time permits, there may be periodic random leaf collection. We will continue to collect leaves until the weather causes us to cease collection or all the leaves have been collected.
More information on how to prepare your materials for collection can be found here: https://www.harristownship.org/resident-info/leaf-brush-collection/.
