With the Lewisburg Borough Offices closed on Monday, January 18, 2021, in observance of the Martin Luther King Holiday, refuse normally collected on Monday will instead be collected on Tuesday. Refuse normally collected on Tuesday will instead be collected on Wednesday along with the normal Wednesday refuse. Refuse collection on Thursday and Friday will be as usual.
Snow removal activities in the parking spaces and curb areas of Borough streets will continue the week of December 21, 2020. The snow removal schedule will follow the posted “no Parking” street cleaning schedule for Borough streets. Please remove all vehicles from the posted streets no later than 7:00 am each day and do not park again along these streets until at least noon. Please do not assume that we have completed our work after the first pass of the equipment. We will likely return to these streets just before noon to place anti-skid and ice melt materials. In addition, the large amount of snow received has slowed our typical snow removal process. What has usually taken us a few hours is now taking most of the day. The longer the street is clear of vehicles on your posted “No Parking” day, the better the street will look by the end of the day. We hope to have all Municipal Parking Lots and Borough street parking spaces cleared by the end of business on Thursday, December 24, 2020.
Please note that illegally parked vehicles on all streets will be towed to help facilitate snow removal activities. Please obey the No Parking signs. The BVRPD will assist us with vehicle ticketing and removal. Vehicles must be moved for the equipment to properly and safely clear the parking lanes and roadway edges.

Lewisburg Borough residents/visitors who plan to park in Municipal Parking Lots during this snowstorm must be aware these lots will be closed at times to facilitate snow removal. At this point, it is not possible to determine when such clearings will occur. We will make an effort to place this information on our Borough website and Facebook page in advance. However, please understand that your vehicle may be towed if it remains parked in a “Closed” Borough Municipal Parking Lot when such snow removal activities occur.
As the weather forecast continues to call for heavy snowfall accumulation in Lewisburg, we are beginning to plan for post-event snow removal activities. The Borough Public Works crew plans to undertake excess snow removal activities from Market Street and other Borough streets. Beginning Friday, December 18, 2020 at 7 am, the crew will remove snow from the parking lane of those streets posted “No Parking” for street cleaning. This process will continue each day until Thursday, December 24, 2020 at noon when all parking lanes/roadway edges should be cleared of snow. In addition, we expect to clear the Market Street parking spaces/parking lanes beginning Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 12:01 am. Our crew will also clear the Municipal Parking Lots as time allows.
Please note that illegally parked vehicles on all streets will be towed to help facilitate snow removal activities. Please obey the No Parking signs. The BVRPD will assist us with vehicle ticketing and removal. Vehicles must be moved for the equipment to properly and safely clear the parking lanes and roadway edges.
