- If you are currently picked up on MONDAY, your new pickup day will be TUESDAY.

- If you are currently picked up on TUESDAY or THURSDAY, your new pickup day will be WEDNESDAY.

- If you are currently picked up on WEDNESDAY or FRIDAY, your new pickup day will be THURSDAY.

- The same limits still apply: 4 containers total and 1 bulk item per week. Brush & yard waste: 2 large bags or 2 cans no more than 40 lbs. each.

- Please see graphic for rules regarding disposal of televisions and electronic devices, as well as household hazardous waste.

- Continue using your existing trash bins and recycling bins. Additional recycling bins can be purchased at city hall.

- The same types of recyclables are being collected as before. See graphic for details.

- See graphic for list of 2024 holidays for which trash/recycling will be collected one day later. NOTE: The first week of collection will be delayed by one day due to the New Year's Day holiday.

The new collection map was mailed to every city address earlier this month. Please take the time to review it before January 1.

Easton City Hall will be closed Friday 12/22 and Monday 12/25, as well as Monday 1/1. If you need to reach our staff, please contact us by Thursday at 4:30 pm. 610-250-6600

On Tuesday, January 2 at 6 pm, Easton City Council will hold a special meeting for the swearing in of new council members Crystal Stoneback Rose and Frank Pintabone, and for the reorganization of city council. And we will also be sharing our appreciation to outgoing council members Peter Melan and David O'Connell for their service to the city.

The meeting takes place at Easton City Hall on the third floor in council chambers and is open to the public to attend. It will also be live streamed on the city's web site.

Thank you to everyone who made this year's holiday marketplace in Centre Square a success. We saw a few rainy days but still had over 56,000 attendees!

Thank you to everyone who attended, the hut vendors and food trucks, performers, our many community volunteers, our event partners, city employees (especially the Department of Public Works which sets up and tears down the huts and skating rink), and the nonprofit Greater Easton Development Partnership for managing the event.

Special thanks to all of this year's sponsors, including Lehigh Valley Health Network as the Presenting Sponsor.

Earlier this year the city launched an improved version of our Easton Alerts notification system. Subscribers can opt to receive notifications by text message, email, or automated phone call. See the graphic for a list of interest categories by neighborhood that subscribers can select from to customize the communications they receive.

Note: If you subscribed to the previous version of Easton Alerts (Smart 911), you have automatically been added to the new version but ONLY for Emergency Alerts. To receive alerts from additional categories, please log in to update your account.

There's still time left this week and weekend to support our city's many small business retailers and restaurants with your holiday shopping and dining. Just look for the red OPEN flags. Go here for a list of businesses by category and a map of their locations.
