The Borough’s 5-year solid waste and recyclable contract with Republic Services expired at the end of 2025. In preparation, the Borough put a new 5-year contract out for bid in 2025 and Borough Council awarded the contract to the lowest bidder, Republic Services, in June for $3,132,376.19. Though our trash service provider has stayed the same, the terms of service have changed. The new contract is for automated collection once a week, bulk collection once a week, and recyclable collection once a week with contractor owned, wheeled carts. Everyone will be assigned one day a week to put out all their trash, recycling, and bulk items at once. You can view the mailer being sent to you from Republic Services HERE.

Each household/unit will be automatically provided with one 95-gallon trash container and one 95-gallon recyclable container (or smaller if a different size was requested) at no cost to you. These carts will be delivered to your home starting the week of December 15th, 2025. We understand that once-a-week pickup is different than our community has been used to, but we are very thankful to Republic Services for sticking with us and for offering a more affordable price as the cost of everything trends upwards. With this in mind, we are happy to announce that the quarterly rate for trash will not have to be increased for 2026. The above mentioned brochure from Republic Services is being mailed out to each resident and is now posted to our website and Facebook. It should have most of the answers to your questions! Please also see the list of FAQs HERE.

Any additional questions or concerns can be emailed to Isaiah Breinig at ibreinig@republicservices.com or 908-323-6640.

The Borough of Sellersville will be replacing the sanitary sewer main in Lawn Avenue between Almont Road in West Rockhill Township and Maple Avenue in Sellersville Borough. The project is anticipated to begin in late summer/early fall 2025 and take approximately eighteen months.

As of 4/7/2026, the Borough's Lawn Avenue Sewer Project is still ongoing as much of the weather this past winter delayed the contractor significantly. Pact One has also encountered large amounts of rock under the earth that have caused their excavating process to slow down drastically. Due to these delays, we do not currently have an updated timeline with their projected end date. Once Pact One is done replacing the sanitary sewer line and necessary laterals, they should be revisiting their temporary patches and redoing them to make Lawn Avenue more drivable. This will be happening, rather than a full repaving, because North Penn Water Authority is going to be coming down Lawn Avenue with their own project under the road as soon as ours is finished. After both the Borough's project and NPWA's project have commenced, PennDOT is slated to come through and fully repave Lawn Avenue.



During this project, there will be various stages of detours/closures along the route. These plans can be found HERE

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Monday, October 6, through Friday, November 14, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Lawn Avenue will be closed and detoured weekdays between Maple Avenue and Noble Street. During the closure, passenger vehicles will be directed to use Maple Avenue, Farmers Lane, and Lawn Avenue. Trucks will be directed to use Cat Hill Road, County Line Road, and Route 563 (Ridge Road).

• Monday, November 17, through Friday, December 5, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Lawn Avenue will be closed and detoured between Noble Street and Noble Street. During the closure, passenger vehicles will be directed to use Maple Avenue, Farmers Lane, and Lawn Avenue. Trucks will be directed to use Noble Street, Main Street, and Route 563 (Ridge Road).

• Monday, January 12, 2026, through Friday, January 30, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, Lawn Avenue will be closed and detoured weekdays between Life Mark Drive and Almont Road. During the closure, all vehicles will be directed to use Noble Street, Main Street, and Route 563 (Ridge Road).

• Monday, December 8, through Friday, January 9, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a weekday lane closure with flagging will be in place on Lawn Avenue between Noble Street and Almont Road.

Local access will be maintained up to the work zones. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Sellersville Borough will complete this project under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit. For more information, please visit the PennDOT website HERE

The change in the Pennsylvania fireworks law has created confusion on the part of citizens who are under the mistaken belief that fireworks are allowed to be set off anywhere, anytime. In reality, there are essentially no places in the Borough of Sellersville where private citizens can set off fireworks as they cannot be set off within 150 ft of an occupied structure whether or not it is occupied. This provision essentially eliminates any location within the Borough for discharging fireworks. Other restrictions include:

They cannot be ignited or discharged on a public or private property without express permission of the property owner.
They cannot be discharged from or within a motor vehicle or building.
They cannot be discharged toward a motor vehicle or building.
They cannot be discharged within 150 feet of an occupied structure, whether or not a person is actually present.
They cannot be discharged while the person is under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, or another drug.

For more information on the fireworks regulations, please see the PA State Police FAQ site

If residents hear or observe the improper setting off of fireworks within the borough they are encouraged to contact the Perkasie Police Department at (267) 517-0099.

Sellersville Borough and the Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy would like to remind you of the importance of preventing stormwater pollution while you make the most of the fall season. Stormwater is formed when rainwater makes its way into storm drains or runs off our properties directly into streams. On its journey to the stream, stormwater can pick up harmful substances that pollute our watershed.
