Burning trash, recyclables, leaves, limbs, tree stumps or yard debris of any kind, whether in an open fire or in a barrel-type container, is strictly prohibited in the Township.  This prohibition has been in effect since the spring of 2012.

The Township provides a wide range of services that make disposing of material by burning unnecessary.  These services include:

• Weekly Curbside Collection of Trash and Recycling.
• Monthly Curbside Bulk Trash Collection. 
• Six Curbside Yard Waste Collection dates per year.
• Four Leaf Collection weeks per year.
• A limited Wood Chipping Service performed by Township Public Works staff is available on request.
  
• The Township operates a Recycle Drop-Off Center.
• The Township co-sponsors multiple Hazardous Household Waste Collection Events throughout the year.
• The Township co-sponsors an annual Shredding & E-Waste Recycling Event.

Full details about the services above are available on the Trash, Recycling, Chipping & Yard Waste Page.

No bonfire or other uncontained fire shall be kindled or permitted to burn whenever drought or extreme weather conditions exist, or when a ban on outdoor burning has been placed into effect by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or the Supervisors of East Brandywine Township. Notice of such restrictions shall be given by notice in a newspaper of general circulation, by posting of a notice at the Township Office, and any other such notice as the Township may deem necessary.
