Nesquehoning Borough Council wants to remind residents on a few trash related items.

First, the week of Labor Day, trash pickups will be delayed by a day. That means that trash will be picked up at Lake Hauto on Tuesday and the estates and borough on Thursday.Second, the recycling bins are not meant for trash.
