Yard Waste Disposal Drop-Off Site
Offered to Charlestown Residents
Our neighbors at the Borough of Phoenixville have graciously extended access to their
yard waste drop off site to Charlestown residents.
For a fee of $5.00 per car or $10.00 per truck, Charlestown residents may drop off
yard waste including the following: brush, flower and flower cuttings, garden trimmings, grass clippings,
houseplants, leaves, pruning, shrubbery, tree trimmings, tree twigs and branches, weeds, untreated wood
chips and yard debris. They accept trees up to 24” in caliper.
The site is located at 18 South 2nd Avenue, Phoenixville, PA 19460.
The site is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. year round and on Saturdays
from March 1 - November 30 from 7:00 a.m. – 3 p.m.
In addition to the drop-off service, Phoenixville Borough offers yard waste compost,
leaf compost and hard wood mulch to participants.
Charlestown Township is greatly appreciative of this service, and we hope our residents
will find it useful.
