Final Two Days for Township Fall Clean-Up Drop-Offs
United, PA · October 5, 2026
Raking up the first real drift of autumn leaves can wait, but clearing out the shed cannot. You have crisp sunshine and open township dumpsters waiting on this brisk Monday morning.
The Lead
Mount Pleasant Township’s biannual clean-up drive is entering its final hours, giving local households through 5:00 PM Tuesday to clear bulky waste before winter arrives. Township-staffed dumpsters remain stationed at two convenient drop-off points: the municipal building along Poker Road in Mammoth and the township site at 3349 Route 981 by Middle Churches.
Crews are accepting standard oversized household clutter, old furniture, and scrap metal from township taxpayers, though routine restrictions remain in place for hazardous chemicals, electronics, and tires. Because municipal collection contracts cover regular curbside trash, these designated drop-off windows offer residents their primary chance of the season to purge large refuse without hauling fees or special pickup surcharges. Gates stay open until 5:00 PM both today and tomorrow, after which township road crews will haul the containers away and transition equipment toward late-autumn road maintenance.

Spotlight & Story
- The Mammoth Park Giant Slide In May 1973, Westmoreland County debuted a single 96-foot metal chute where generations barreled down on burlap sacks. When re-engineered in 2020, crews installed two 100-foot stainless-steel runs shipped from Germany alongside a dedicated 40-foot children's track.
