In November of 2015, Amity Township was added to the quarantine for the Spotted Lanternfly (SLF), a pretty but destructive and invasive pest. This quarantine restricts the movement of objects and materials stored outdoors. Printed information on the SLF is available at the Township Building, and can be found online at www.agriculture.pa.gov (search Spotted Lanternfly).
Residents disposing of wood waste during the Spotted Lanternfly (SLF) quarantine may continue to bring their wood waste to the Township building, located at 2004 Weavertown Road. The Township provides two 40-yard containers and has contracted with a wood waste facility within the SLF quarantined areas to handle and treat the wood waste.
If you think you see the SLF, in any stage of life, send a picture to badbug@pa.gov,
or call 1-866-253-7189 to report details of your sighting.
