Here are the locations for each type of waste:

Flood and yard waste

  • Municipal Building — 1132 Woodward Drive
  • HFD - Midway/St. Clair Station — 1966 Broadway Avenue
  • HFD Station 501 – North Hempfield — 1284 Business Route 66

Flood waste only

  • Adamsburg VFD Auxiliary Lot (across from the station) — 488 Edna Road

Officials say residents should place general refuse and storm debris inside the roll-off dumpsters at those locations, which are self-service.

Sticks, branches, tree limbs and other plant material should be put on the ground in marked yard waste areas.

Bags, containers and household trash should not be put in yard waste piles.
