Yard waste pickup is resuming. Place yard waste in the alley adjacent to your property for pickup by 7 am on Mondays. Properties without an adjacent alley should place yard waste on the street side.
Yard waste must be put in cans, paper bags, or bundled so it can be easily lifted to shoulder height. Only three 32-gallon cans (not exceeding 50 lbs.) may be placed out for pickup in a week. Additional yard waste must be bundled or placed in biodegradable bags. Thanks for your cooperation!

Milford Borough was incorporated on December 5, 1874 having been previously part of Milford Township. The Native Americans and later settlers who lived in the area enjoyed rich forests, beautiful lakes, and the fresh waters of the Delaware River and streams that feed into it.
The village was laid out by John Biddis in 1796, naming the streets after his children and family, and the lanes after his favorite fruits and berries. Judge Biddis took his inspiration from the design of Philadelphia, the nation’s first capitol. Some say the name Milford came from Milford Haven in Wales, where John Biddis’ father William was born. Others say the Wells’ mill and the spot where the Delaware was forded resulted in the name Mill‐Ford.
Today, Milford is the County Seat of Pike County with a population of 1,104, in an area of 0.5 square mile is important to local residents and surrounding communities providing a variety of community services.
We hope you will explore Milford and discover why it is a great place to live, start a business, raise a family, retire, and vacation.
