Mifflinburg recycling, brush drop-off delayed after July 4 holiday
Mifflinburg has pushed recycling to July 18 and brush drop-off to Aug. 1, forcing residents to hold summer cleanup loads longer than planned.
The Borough of Mifflinburg has canceled its July 4 recycling and brush drop-off because of the Independence Day holiday, pushing both services deeper into the month for residents who use the borough site for summer cleanup. Recycling will resume on Saturday, July 18, 2026, and brush drop-off will resume on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
That shift matters for households that had already set aside yard waste, cardboard and other material for the borough’s holiday-weekend schedule. Instead of taking those loads to the site on the usual Saturday, residents will have to keep them until the next posted drop-off date or face another trip later in the month.
The Mifflinburg Recycling Center is at 6 Industrial Park Road on the west end of Mifflinburg. The borough lists the center’s regular operating window as 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the first and third Saturday of the month, which now controls when residents can use the site. The borough’s recycling page has made clear that the holiday cancellation is not a one-week delay, but a rescheduled service window that residents need to follow before loading a vehicle.
Brush disposal is even more tightly controlled. A borough post from 2016 said the brush pile at the recycling center was open May through November, accepted material on the first Saturday of each month, required a current utility bill as proof of residency and limited each household to one pickup-truck load per month. Those rules show that the borough handles brush through resident-only drop-off windows rather than open-access dumping.
Union County’s recycling information lists Mifflinburg Borough as one of the county’s municipal drop-off locations, with accepted materials varying by site. That makes the borough schedule part of a larger county recycling network, but the Mifflinburg rules still govern when local residents can use the Industrial Park Road center. Anyone planning to clear out a garage, trim shrubs or bring in cardboard should check the borough’s posted dates before making the trip.
