Fall Clean Up Dumpsters Open Across the Township
United, PA · September 27, 2026
Raking up the first dry maple leaves can wait a few hours this morning. The local festival circuit wraps up its biggest weekend today, leaving plenty of room to stroll before the workweek returns.
The Lead
Mount Pleasant Township’s annual fall Clean Up Days are officially underway, offering residents a convenient way to clear out bulky household clutter before winter arrives. Running through October 6, the drop-off program provides large roll-off dumpsters at two designated municipal sites: the Mammoth Township Building at 208 Poker Road and the Middle Churches facility at 3349 Route 981.
Crews have opened the gates for drop-offs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays and 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays. The township collection accepts oversized items, broken furniture, and general scrap, though standard restrictions apply for hazardous chemicals, electronics, and tires. For folks tackling seasonal attic cleanouts or clearing out outbuildings, having two drop points close to home spares a long trek to county landfills. The bins will remain available to all township households through Tuesday, October 6.

Spotlight & Story
- The Mount Pleasant Doughboy
- Standing on the Diamond Street traffic island, this World War I memorial is actually the third incarnation—vehicles struck and destroyed the prior statues in 1968 and 1981. The original 1925 granite head was salvaged and now rests inside Leo & Sons Grille 31.
