Brush Collection

Spring 2024 Brush Collection

Spring brush collection service is now complete.  Please check back later for information on the Fall collection. 

Residents must contact the Township at 412-784-1784, Ext. 203 or e-mail OHarabrush@ohara.pa.us during that period to request collection services. Callers or e-mails should indicate that they are requesting brush pick-up and include their name, address and telephone number.  Requests are for one pick-up only.  If, after collection, additional material is placed at the curb, another request for collection  must be made.

Requests for pick-up will not be accepted after 4:30 pm on April 19.  However, collection will continue until  brush is collected from all residents who have called in requests.
