White Oak Borough Cell Phone Collection
As part of our Domestic Violence Awareness Month observance, White Oak Borough has partnered with the 911 Cell Phone Bank to collect used cell phones for victims of domestic abuse in our area. Over 2 million women each year become victims of domestic violence. Many of these violent incidents can be prevented with a simple tool we all take for granted, the cell phone. Please consider donating you used cell phone. Your donation could be the critical link between law enforcement and someone in trouble. Phones will be collected at the White Oak Borough building and White Oak EMS.

 White Oak Borough Now Recycles Cardboard
The new blue and green ecorewards recycling bins are for cardboard recycling only.
Please flatten all cardboard boxes before placing them in the bins.
The bins are located at the Borough Building, behind the fence, next to the paper recycling bins.
Please make an effort to recycle all cardboard.
We are continuing our relationship with the Twin Rivers Council of Governments, a governmental non-profit agency, to collect the recyclables upon our behalf. This cooperative effort has been in place since 1991.
Last year we removed approximate total of 70.41 tons of aluminum, tin and glass and 187 tons of paper from the waste stream.
We encourage you to "Do Your Part" and recycle.

White Oak Borough Composting
Leaves will be picked up on your regular trash day the entire month of November except for Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Saturdays, and Sundays. Leaves are to be placed at your front curb (no alleys). They can either be placed in clear bags or brown paper leaf bags or just piled and covered with a tarp. Residents living on dead-end streets will need to use bags because the leaf vactor cannot get to those streets to collect them. The leaf collection is for leaves only. Please do not include other yard waste such as grass clippings, potted flowers, or potted plants.
Wood chips are available to all Borough residents free of charge and can be picked up at the Heritage Hill Park. The ODB Leaf Collection System and the Woodsman Brush Chipper were purchased through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Yard waste recycling is a sensible solid waste management alternative for Pennsylvania municipalities and both programs have helped to reduce the amount of yard waste going into our landfills and at the same time produced beneficial mulch, which can be used for ornamental landscaping or garden pathways.
