As we head into the Winter season, Centre Township Supervisors, are asking residents for their cooperation to set out their trash and bins only the night before collection, and to remove them as soon as possible on the day of trash collection. We understand there are instances when the collection company may be delayed due to weather also. Trash dumpster and bins can obstruct the pre-treating and plowing during severe storms as well as to properly inspect water runoff when ice and snow begin to melt.

Further this is a good time to remind residents of the road frontage right-of-way the township can access, and the road crew will always do their best to avoid personal items like trash dumpsters, trash bins, shrubs, and mailboxes. However, the township is not responsible for damage to any of these items located within the right-of-way.

The Supervisors would like to extend a very joyous holiday season and good health to you and your families in the new year!

Emergency Medical Services for Residents of Centre Township

Date of Issuance: October 16, 2025

Please be advised that at the regular meeting held on October 7, 2025, the Centre Township Board of Supervisors made the decision to not participate in the Perry County EMS Consolidation Commission at this time.

This decision was reached after a thorough discussion concerning the anticipated costs to the township residents and the uncertain nature of future changes to emergency services under the proposed consolidation.

The Board of Supervisors reaffirms its commitment to providing reliable and effective emergency medical services. To that end, Centre Township will continue to support New Bloomfield EMS for Basic Life Support (BLS) and UPMC Life Team for Advanced Life Support (ALS) for all residents. This course of action ensures continuity of care without the need to create an additional Emergency Services Tax in Centre Township.

To ensure our local EMS agency remains strong and well-supported, we strongly encourage all residents to join the New Bloomfield EMS Annual Membership drive. Your membership is a critical contribution to the health and safety of our community.

Respectfully,

The Centre Township Board of Supervisors
