Spring News / Clutter Cleanup 2022

It’s that time again! We are pleased to announce that Kingston’s Clutter Cleanup Program will commence on Monday, June 6, 2022. Please save this information and don’t forget your date!

A permit fee of fifty ($50.00) dollars per household is charged to offset the costs of heavy equipment, fuel, and landfill tipping fees. The cost of fuel and temporary wages have nearly doubled since our last program in 2020. Residents MUST purchase their permits at least one week before their zone’s scheduled pick-up date. Permit applications will be sold at the Kingston Municipal Building, Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm. Permits for Zone #1 go on sale Tuesday, May 31, 2022.

Permits will be sold at the Tax Collector’s Office in the Municipal Building. There are no online sales or alternative locations for purchasing a permit.

Clutter must be curbside and ready for collection by 7:00 a.m. on the Monday of your Zone’s designated pick-up. Clutter shall NOT be placed on the tree lawn any sooner than 48 hours prior to your Zone’s scheduled pick-up. Each household with a permit is restricted to 1,000 pounds of clutter. The maximum size for a clutter pile is 6 feet long, by 4 feet wide, by 4 feet high. Please call (570) 288-4576 extension 112 with any questions. ELECTRONIC ITEMS, PETROLIUM BASED PRODUCTS, AND PAINT CANS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Any unacceptable items that are left on the tree lawns will be treated as litter. Citations will be issued to violators.

This program is available for Kingston residents only. Commercial businesses are not eligible for participation in the program.

Guidelines for the Clutter Cleanup Program are available at the Kingston Municipal Building and online at www.kingstonpa.org. More information coming soon.
