The Township will begin its fall leaf pickup Township wide starting October 20th through December 1st.  To ensure your leaves are picked up they must be placed roadside by 7:00 AM Monday morning to be picked up that week.   Leaves should be placed along the edge of the roadway for the collection equipment to reach them. As a reminder, the Township will not pick-up the leaves if piles are located too far off the edge of roadway, too close to automobiles or structures (mailboxes, signs, basketball poles etc.) or if brush or trash is mixed in the pile.    Bagged leaves will not be collected.    Leaves are only collected along public (Township and State) roadways.

 Prefinal Carroll and Dillsburg Comp Plan

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation proposes replacement of the existing bridge along State Route 4045 (Campground Road) over Dogwood Run in Carroll Township, York County.

The purpose of the project is to address the deteriorating condition of the existing bridge and provide a sustainable crossing along Campground Road over Dogwood Run. The existing bridge was constructed in 1949 and has outlived its useful service life.  The deck is very worn, with exposed aggregate, delaminated areas, and numerous short longitudinal cracks throughout the deck surface. The existing railing does not meet current design standards.

The project will involve the replacement of the existing two span, reinforced concrete slab bridge. The proposed replacement structure is a single-span spread box beam bridge with u-shaped wingwalls. The roadway across the proposed structure will include two 11’ lanes with 4’ shoulders on both sides. Detour, Project Display 1, Project Display 2, Project Display 3.

In the following links you will find Transportation improvement alternatives that have been proposed through the years of planning.   The Township invites public participation in reviewing the alternatives.  Any and all input would be appreciated and is a valuable asset considered when developing future transportation improvements.  Click here to view 2001-2023 Alternatives for meeting.

Carroll Township is currently in the preliminary planning stages for major traffic improvements to the Route 15 and Route 74 corridors.  The Township has been working with PennDOT and York County Planning on the proposed future improvements.  Exhibits have been prepared for the concepts and are being incorporated into the Official Map.  The process of amending the current Official Map will involve public meetings and a public hearing.  Public input is always welcomed and encouraged at these meetings.  A link to the proposed traffic improvement concept exhibits can be found here.

Currently, 18 York County police department locations partner with the YCSWA to host medication take-back boxes in their police department lobbies.  The Secure Medication Take-back Box Program provides a secure disposal option for unwanted medications from residential sources at no cost to the public or to law enforcement agencies.  All York County police departments have been invited to participate.  Illegal drugs captured by law enforcement are also destroyed at no cost.

The secure medication take-back boxes, purchased by YCSWA from MedReturn, work like a mailbox: once medications are deposited, they cannot be retrieved and are contained in a locked compartment accessible only by law enforcement.  The heavy-duty green metal box bolts to the floor and wall.  Medications collected in the take-back box program are delivered by law enforcement to the Authority’s waste-to-energy facility for safe and complete destruction.  Law enforcement also maintains the box and secures medications that are received until they can be destroyed.

The Authority’s waste-to-energy facility is equipped with state-of-the-art combustion technology and air emission controls making it York County’s best waste management tool for destruction of medications and illegal drugs seized in law enforcement actions.  The facility’s operator, Covanta York Renewable Energy, also supports this method that ensures complete destruction of medications and illegal drugs at the York County Resource Recovery Center.
