News & Notices

In case this weekend’s storm necessitates the need to declare a snow emergency for the Borough, please stay abreast of all notifications through our borough’s website, Facebook, The NewsItem and other public information platforms. If a Snow Emergency is declared, vehicles parked on Route 61 will have to be removed in order that PennDOT can plow both lanes of the State Highway from one end of Chestnut Street to the other. Also, residents are reminded on all other streets, please park as close to the curb as possible in order to
allow the Borough Plow apparatus to clear as wide lane as possible for adequate vehicle movement. Thank you all, stay warm, stay dry, stay safe.

Joint Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance for Mount Carmel Township, Kulpmont Borough, and Marion Heights Borough

The Township of Mount Carmel and the Boroughs of Kulpmont and Marion Heights are in the process of developing a Joint Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance to cover all three municipalities. Perhaps the most important aspect of this process is community participation. Understanding the community’s values, including where the public feels the municipality is succeeding or lacking, will help the municipalities determine where to focus more attention and funding.

The following survey contains 26 questions about life in the region, including topics regarding quality of life, public facilities and services, natural and environmental resources, parks and recreation, and transportation. Please be prepared to dedicate the time to filling out this form completely, as your feedback is vitally important. It is recommended that this survey be completed on a computer or tablet rather than a mobile phone. Please note that the first 4 questions are required.

If any unacceptable items are seen in any resident’s recycling bin(s), all contents will be left behind for THE RESIDENT to dispose of with a local trash hauler. The unacceptable items are not recyclables – they are trash.

Please do not block access to your mailbox with recycling bins.

If, due to unavoidable circumstances, the Borough does not collect your recyclables on the assigned day by 3:30pm, please take your bin(s) back inside and contact the Borough Office at 373-1521 for any updates on the Recycling Schedule.

The intent of this study is to determine if Kulpmont Borough and Mount Carmel Township,(with a current contract to cover Marion Heights Borough) all contiguous and located in southeastern Northumberland County, Pennsylvania would benefit from consolidation by forming a regional police department to serve both municipalities, with a contract to continue covering Marion Heights Borough.
