The Yeadon Police Department is located on the 1st Floor of Borough Hall. The Police Department requests the air and cooperation of all the residents in reporting anything suspicious occurring in the Borough, as soon as possible.

If you have information about criminal activity and want to report it in strict confidence, please dial Extension 144 and leave information on the tape. All information will be handled confidentially.

If you have questions for the police and want to give non-emergency information, the business number is 623-1500. Please call between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (except holidays).

The Yeadon Fire Company #1 provides fire, rescue and ambulance services to the Borough. Every member of the Fire Company, including the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal, are unpaid volunteers.

The bulk of financial support for Yeadon Fire Company #1 comes from contributions from the community, with only a small portion of your tax dollars funding some operations. Each October you receive a request from the Yeadon Fire Company for a contribution to support fire and rescue.

If you are interested in volunteering with the Fire Company, please stop by the firehouse, next to Borough Hall, to pick up an application.

The citizens' "eyes and ears" of the community is in its 26th year of operation in Yeadon. Yeadon Town Watch supports our local police. Town Watch is in urgent need of volunteers to staff their Friday and Saturday night patrols. To volunteer or to find out more about Town Watch's activities and ways in which you can support Town Watch, call 610-623-3411.

The Yeadon Public Library is located at 809 Longacre Boulevard. The library is a member of Delaware County Library System, a federated system comprised of 26 libraries and 4 associate members.

If you cannot find the information, Library staff can help point you in the right direction. Remember, you can also pick up voter registration forms, tax forms, and community fliers and newsletters at the Library. The library's web address is www.delco.lib.pa.us/liblist/ye.html

Trash Pick-up begins at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday. Place your trash curbside after 6:00 PM the day before collection day. Your pick-up day will be delayed one day if a legal holiday falls on the same weekday as your regular trash pick-up day. From the last week of June to the last week of August, trash is collected twice a week.

Borough Ordinance No. 1060.07 stipulates that "All trash, rubbish and garbage shall be placed in metal or plastic containers, of a size not more than thirty-three gallon capacity and which do not, when filled, weigh in excess of thirty pounds. Plastic trash bags are acceptable. All containers shall, when placed by a public street, be covered with cover or lid of the same type of material as the container."

Recycling, which is mandatory Borough-wide, takes place every Wednesday, unless Wednesday is a legal holiday. You can recycle the following items: Newspapers, Glass bottles (only clear, brown and green) and Metal cans - only aluminum, steel and bi-metallic cans.

Recycling items no longer need to be separated. Please do not put plastic liners in these containers. Also, you may want to put your house number on your containers to avoid confusion. If you need a yellow container, call the Borough Office at 284-1606. (A fee is charged for the container.)

You should place all recyclables curbside no earlier than 6:00 p.m. Tuesday and no later than 6:00 a.m. Wednesday.
