Front Street has been cleared by Borough staff and is now open to parking on both sides. Reminder: please follow all normal parking regulations on Front Street. (more…)
The Public Works Department, contractors, the Police Department and Fire Department continue to coordinate snow cleanup and clearing efforts in the Borough. In the coming days, residents will need to stay tuned for additional street closures and notifications as we move through the Borough cleaning up streets and side alleys.
Due to the extensive cleanup effort needed to clear streets, Mayor Acri has extended the Snow Emergency Declaration until Friday, January 29th at 6pm. Please follow the website for information on additional No Parking designations needed to clean the streets. (more…)
Due to the amount of snowfall this weekend and the amount of snow that needs to be cleared from Borough streets, trash services will be suspended for this week.
PLEASE DO NOT PLACE TRASH OUT FOR PICKUP THIS WEEK. It will not be picked up by Republic Services.
Next week, Republic Services will pick up double the amount for trash for residents.
This is necessary to keep trash cans and trash out of the streets this week while the Borough removes snow.
Thank you again for your patience.
Doug Brown, Borough Manager
Evening Update:
Steelton Borough staff and contractors removed snow from most of Front Street today in order to allow for the future parking of cars that is needed to fully remove snow on Second Street and other streets.
Please remember, we are still under an Emergency Declaration until 3pm Wednesday with the possibility of an extension. Front Street remains a NO PARKING area until further notice. DO NOT PARK ON FRONT STREET until further notice. (more…)
Due to the snowstorm, Republic Services will be operating on a schedule that is one day behind. Steelton residents should plan to have their trash picked up on Thursday, January 28th.
Republic Services will make every attempt to service residents in a timely manner. However, because of the time it will take to clear out all streets, some residents living on streets with poor road conditions may not be serviced this week. In those few cases Republic Services will collect double next to ensure all trash and recycling is collected as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience as we work together to dig out from this historic snow storm.
Doug Brown, Borough Manager
Dear Borough Residents:
Tomorrow, January 25, 2016, the Steelton Borough Office will be closed. However, due to inclement weather conditions, all essential employees including Public Works and Police Department staff will report to work as regularly scheduled.
The Steelton Public Works Department, Police Department, and Fire Company have been working non-stop since Friday to clear roadways in the Borough. The snow storm experienced this weekend is a record-breaking event. Steelton Borough has expended all staff and resources to keep residents safe in this historical event. (more…)
Mayor Thomas Acri has extended the snow emergency declaration until Wednesday, January 27th at 3pm.
Front Street will remain No Parking until Monday at 3pm. Please follow the Steelton Borough website in the case that the No Parking rule is extended past this time.
Today, and in the coming days, be prepared to move your vehicle to allow the Public Works staff to clear secondary streets and alleyways.
Steelton Public Works staff are currently working on finishing the clearing of main roads and will focus on secondary streets today.
Please do not travel today if it is not necessary.
We appreciate your patience as it will take a prolonged period of time to fully restore Borough streets back to normal.
Doug Brown, Borough Manager

Based on the current 24″-36″ forecast, it appears that accumulations will be more than expected. Public Works continues to try to keep the main roads open. We ask all residents to be patient. If you do not have to go anywhere, don’t. Once the “dig out” begins, we ask residents for their cooperation by not shoveling into the street and by not putting any items into parking spaces that have been cleared. Please be neighborly and check on your neighbors and assist in any way you can. This is an historic event and everyones cooperation will be needed.
