Refuse will be collected on Good Friday (Friday, April 10, 2020) for the normal Friday collection area.  Although the Borough normally delays refuse collections on a holiday by one day, with the Lycoming County Landfill now closed on weekends, we did not want to push collection back until the following Monday.

This closure will include the Tax Collector’s use of Council Chambers and all scheduled meetings in the Borough Office.  Lewisburg Borough Board and Commission meetings will be held at the discretion of the Chairpersons.

Although our Borough buildings will be closed, we will continue to maintain minimum staffing levels to respond to the critical needs of the community.  Borough Office staff will be available by phone or email Monday through Friday from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm.  Members of the public needing to deliver hard copy items to the Borough Office can use the silver drop box attached to the South Fifth Street side of the building near the Staff Entrance Door.  Borough Public Works staff will continue the normal refuse collection schedule Monday through Friday from 6:30 am – 3:00 pm (with one exception noted above).
