Local services and rules

Moving to Punxsutawney: who to call and what the city asks.

Punxsutawney is a borough in southern Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. A vehicle parked on a property in the borough must be legally operable on the road, or it counts as a junk vehicle and the owner gets a violation notice. Residents holding a sale of more than five specific items from a residential property need a borough permit. Borough rules require all properties to be kept mowed, and a violation notice is issued when grass and weeds exceed the limit.

Snow on sidewalks and the Public Works crews

Owners and tenants must clear snow, ice, hail or sleet from sidewalks within 24 hours after it stops falling. Snow may not be plowed or thrown back into the street or alley, and it may not be piled near a fire hydrant. The borough Public Works Department handles pothole repair, street paving, snow and ice removal and street sweeping.

Curbside recycling, leaf collection and county drop-off sites

Borough code requires residences, businesses and institutions to separate designated recyclable materials for collection. Recyclables go curbside in containers provided for collection, and the trash hauler picks them up. The borough Public Works Department also handles fall leaf curbside collection.

Jefferson County has recycling drop-off sites at the Bell Township Building on Runway Drive and at the Gaskill Township Building on Municipal Lane. Both sites have Punxsutawney addresses. The county drop-off sites do not accept paint cans.
