   No person owning or occupying any property within the Borough shall permit any grass or weeds or any vegetation whatsoever, not edible or planted for some useful or ornamental purpose, to grow or remain upon such premises so as to exceed a height of 6 inches or to throw off any unpleasant or noxious odor or to conceal any filthy deposit or to create or produce pollen. Any grass, weeds or other vegetation growing upon any premises in the Borough in violation of any of the provisions of this section is hereby declared to be a nuisance and detrimental to the health, safety, cleanliness and comfort of the inhabitants of the Borough. Grass and weeds shall not exceed a height of 3 inches on unpaved footpaths bordering paved streets and commonly used in lieu of sidewalks which have not been constructed; provided, in the case of any tract of undeveloped land, this section shall not apply to grass, weeds or vegetation growing more than 150 feet from any residence; provided, further, this section shall not apply to any forested land.

(Ord. 79-6, 3/19/1979, § 1)

TROY BOROUGH WILL BE UNABLE TO HOLD SPRING OR FALL CLEANUP UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  THERE WILL BE NO PICKUP OF BAGGED LEAVES OR BRANCHES AS WE HAVE NO PERMITTED DISPOSAL SITE. 

WE ARE ALSO UNABLE TO ALLOW PERSONAL DUMPING OF THESE ITEMS BY ANYONE FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC.  THE SITE IS CLOSED.  PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR ADMITTANCE.

Troy Borough will be using the Bradford County CodeRED telephone alert system for future emergency and general notifications.  When the Borough has an announcement that must be communicated to residents, it will be generated through the Bradford County Emergency System.  Using this system will allow us to notify the entire community when needed, or just the residents in an affected area, thereby, not unnecessarily alarming or confusing others.  If you have a hard line telephone at your location you are already in this system, and if you previously registered your cell phone through the Bradford County Emergency Center , that is also in the system.  If you do not have a hard line telephone and have not registered your mobile phone, you may do so by following these easy steps:

       1. Call the Emergency Center at 570-265-5022 and ask to have your mobile device registered.
