Benner Township Brush Collection

Benner Township collects brush in the spring and in the fall using a call in system. You MUST call 355-1419 no later than October 17, 2025 to be placed on the FALL brush collection list. Brush must be ready to be picked up on Monday, October 20th by 7 a.m. We may not get to you on the 20th but we ask that you are ready for us then.

Guidelines for brush collection are:

Brush must be piled with cut ends of limbs in the same direction towards the street.

Limbs must be cut to be able to be fed into the chipper. Limbs larger than 4 inches in diameter will not be collected.

Do not tie brush in bundles.

Stumps, old firewood, construction material, thorn bushes, grasses, vines and plant waste will not be picked up

Maintenance crews will not enter private property.

Crews will spend no more than 20 minutes at one property. If your pile is too large to be chipped in 20 minutes, please make other arrangements.

Do not pile brush in front of or block fire hydrants or storm drains.

This collection is for trimming of bushes and trees, not for tree removal or site clearing.

Benner Township Leaf Collection

Leaf collection will start on October 27th and will continue until inclement weather. If you still have leaves after our pickup concludes, you may take them to the Bellefonte Composting facility located along Musser Lane in Bellefonte (Near Home Delivery Pizza). This facility will accept grass, leaves and brush.
