This program provides for resurfacing of streets to improve riding comfort, reduce the need for maintenance and increase the life of the street. Abington Township currently has two street sweeping units. The township street sweeping program runs throughout the entire year, weather permitting. This includes major obstructions such as fallen tree limbs and accident debris. The Highway Department is responsible for clearing debris from public roadways. For more information on these initiatives, please see the refuse section below. The Highway Division and Refuse Division work together to provide yard waste collection, including leaf and holiday tree collections, bagged leaves and composting. If a pothole is reported in a street not maintained by Abington Township, the Streets Division will notify the proper parties of the problem. Permanent repairs are made when weather permits usually starting at the end of March.
This service is not done during the winter season as hot asphalt used for permanent patching is unavailable and cold patch must be used. Non vegetative debris does not decompose and interferes with the composting process therefore making for an inferior product.Street maintenance is responsible for repairing potholes. Do not mix trash or other debris with leaves, grass clippings or brush.Wet leaves in the road may create a slippery surface and therefore a traffic hazard.Try to create piles at the edge of your property and if possible, not in the street, in an effort to keep the roadway and storm drains clear of debris.Do not blow leaves into the way of traffic.Additional Information regarding leaf collection: Once the leaf machine passes it will NOT return until the 2 nd scheduled collection.įor any questions, please contact the Public Works Department at 26. Residents MUST have their leaves curbside on the MONDAY of the scheduled week of pick up, as the leaf truck will pass by only once during that week.
