Springhill Township, PA

9-9-2025 NOTICE Several residents have reported concerns about people wearing backpack sprayers entering their properties. West Penn Power contracted with Progressive Solutions to send a crew to remove vegetation from under power lines and around power poles in the township. Due to property owner complaints, West Penn is not clearing vegetation by broadcast spraying of herbicides any more, but is trying a more environmentally friendly approach. Instead of indiscriminately broadcasting herbicide over the tree crowns and everything underneath, these workers use machetes to cut a path through the brush to the trees that need to be killed. Then they cut the tree bark with the machete and spray a small amount of the herbicide directly into the cut. You will see dead brown leaves on the trees that have been treated and vegetation growing up the power line poles that has been sprayed. West Penn had also contracted with a separate company that was supposed to put hang tags on the doors of property owners where the vegetation was to be killed, with a place where the owner could sign if they did not want any spraying, but a number of residents did not receive these tags. We have notified West Penn and Progressive Solutions of this error so it will not be repeated. The Progressive Solutions crew is almost finished in Springhill Township; if any vegetation in your area was treated, you will see dead, dried up leaves. If the plants along your property line are still green and growing, they have not been sprayed.

Garbage collection will be on the holiday schedule the week of September 1st due to the Labor Day holiday. Collection will be delayed by one day the entire week. Please reach out to the township office if you have any questions.

Garbage collection will be delayed by one day the week of August 25 due to maintenance on the truck. This week will operate like a holiday week. Please contact the township office with any questions.

The regular Springhill Township meeting originally scheduled for Thursday 8-21-25 is changed to Monday 8-25-25 at 4 PM, at the Township meeting room at 198 Lake Lynn Road, Lake Lynn, PA 15451

We have experienced several problems in the past months and want to remind everyone of the trash service rules: Trash service is limited to 6 standard size trash bags per week per household. If more than 6 bags or equivalent is put out, it cannot be picked up; there is a limit to the capacity of the truck and too many people have been abusing the limit. If you need extra trash picked up, for example if you are cleaning out a shed or garage, you may make arrangements for additional trash to be collected for an extra fee by calling the Township office at 724-725-5294. No loose trash will be picked up; everything must be in a trash bag or container. No more than 50 lbs. per trash bag or container, please; we don’t want our workers injured. Trash to be picked up must be placed at the roadside; due to liability issues, workers are no longer allowed to enter private property to remove trash. Trash may not be brought to the Township building unless prior arrangements have been made; call the office at 724-725-5294. Your cooperation in helping us continue to provide the best and least expensive trash service in the area is greatly appreciated.

Trash pickup for Thursday, July 24 will begin one hour earlier than usual, at 6:00 AM, due to scheduled maintenance on the garbage truck later in the day. To ensure timely collection, we kindly ask that all residents place their trash curbside the night before or by 6:00 AM at the latest. This early start is especially important for the first three roads on tomorrow’s pickup route: Fallen Timbers Road Greater Point Marion Road Cagey School Road We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact the Township Office.

We are experiencing unexpected delays in trash collection this week due to a failure in our garbage truck bed repair. Despite efforts to fix the equipment over the weekend, the repair has failed, and we are now collecting trash manually using township pickup trucks. What this means for you: Trash pickup will be delayed this week. Unfortunately, we cannot give an exact schedule. Important Reminder: Each household is allowed to put out up to 6 full-size bags of trash per week, unless you have made other arrangements with the township. This week especially, we cannot pick up more than 6 bags per household due to limited hauling capacity. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to resolve this issue.
