Red Lion, Pennsylvania

Welcome to the the official website for the Borough of Red Lion, Pennsylvania!
We are located in York County, approximately 35 miles south of Harrisburg, and 50 miles north of Baltimore, Maryland.
The Borough of Red Lion was incorporated on January 16, 1880. Our population, according to the 2010 census, is 6,373. Red Lion has diverse manufacturing industries, including clothing, milling, plastics, steel fabrication, and many others. Although a healthy balance of industry and commerce exists, Red Lion has leaned toward a primarily residential community. One very important factor has remained constant over the years, and that is the pride of Red Lion's people.

Our Municipal Office is located on the Square,
at the intersection of Routes 74 & 24.
We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 4:30 PM.

Penn Waste will be enforcing the following collection mandates in an effort to protect our frontline team members and as a result of having a limited workforce during this COVID-19 pandemic:
- All trash must be bagged and tied. If you’re in a municipality that has a mobile cart, all bags must be placed inside your mobile cart. Loose items will be not be collected.

- All recyclable materials must be placed inside your recycling container(s), including your flattened cardboard. Recyclable items left outside of your recycling container will not be collected.

- We will enforce the bag and/ or cart limits as designated by your municipality. If you do not know what your limits are, you can check on our website - https://www.pennwaste.com/municipalities/red-lion-borough/. 

- Bulk item and yard waste collection is suspended until further notice. We are doing this so we can continue to focus all our efforts and personnel on trash and recycling collection.

All of the above actions are being put in place to help protect the health and safety of our team members. After the COVID-19 crisis is over, we will resume our normal collection practices and reinstate bulk item and yard waste collection services. Please continue to check our website and your municipality’s website for updates.
