Trash Collection and Recycling:
The Association currently
has a contract with J. P. Mascaro & Sons, Inc and that firm is the sole
collector of trash and recyclables for the Lions Gate community. Both are
collected once per week on Fridays. Trash containers can be obtained by
calling Mascaro at 215-256-1900 and recyclable containers can be obtained at
the Township Building.
Snow Removal
The streets within Lions
Gate are not dedicated, i.e., the Township is not responsible for maintenance,
repair, and/or snow removal. Consequently, the Association must make
arrangements for this work. For snow removal, the Association has a contract
with an outside firm. It specifies that they are to remove snow from all
driveways, courtyards, and streets within our community. In general, the
contractor is authorized to begin removal when the depth is 3 inches and the
snow is forecast to continue. Each resident is responsible for the removal of
snow from their own sidewalk. Questions or concerns regarding snow removal
should be directed to Janice Shearer at the Management Company (215-855-8700).
