In April 2015, Ferguson Township was named a Certified Gold Community by Sustainable Pennsylvania.
We were glad to be recognized for our commitment to preserving our agricultural heritage and our wide open spaces, to responsible development, and doing all we can to promote a sustainable community.
The Township's sustainable initiatives include:
- agricultural preservation
- stormwater management
- our parks
- our bike-friendly community and shared use paths
- refuse, recycling, compost and yard waste
Currently, the Centre Region offers the following Refuse, Recycling, Compost and Yard Waste services:
