Ephrata sits at the north end of Lancaster County, about twenty-five minutes from our yard, with a Main Street historic district built up around the Ephrata Cloister and residential neighborhoods along Route 322/272.
Ephrata is one of the few boroughs in the county with a real published rule for containers in the street, so if your job is going there we’ll walk you through it.
On your own driveway or lot, no permit needed. For a container on the street, Ephrata requires a permit from the Code Enforcement Officer (decided within 5 working days): an initial term of up to 30 days with up to two 30-day renewals, one permit per property per year, kept at least 15 feet from a fire hydrant and no more than 10 feet into the street from the curb. The fee is set by Borough Council resolution, so we’ll confirm the current amount with the borough when you book.
