Yard Waste Facility

The Yard Waste Facility is located at the rear of the Municipal Building at 3256 Levans Road.

Every North Whitehall Township resident is REQUIRED to register for a permit sticker to be able to use the Township Yard Waste Center for 2025. You may register up to two vehicles per household. If you register for your permit online, your sticker will be mailed out within ten business days after being processed. The permit sticker needs to be adhered to the drivers side windshield of the car you are entering the facility with. When placing your sticker on your windshield, clean the area and let it dry before applying. Stickers should be displayed at the lower left of your vehicle’s windshield.

If you have a blue window sticker from 2024, it is still valid. If you do not have a window sticker, click here to fill out the Yard Waste Permit Online Application and receive your stickers in the mail.
