Welcome to McKees Rocks!
McKees Rocks occupies one square mile along the south bank of the Ohio River just a few miles from downtown Pittsburgh.
The Rocks (as it is commonly known) combines the charm of its history with a 21st-century energy. Founded in 1769 and incorporated in 1829, McKees Rocks has 6,000 diverse residents, from people who have lived here for generations to newcomers just moving in who see the opportunities the Rocks provides.

Trash Pickup is Thursday. They pick up both regular trash and mixed recycle every week. You are responsible for providing your own trash cans. Please use a trash can with a lid for regular trash. If you just put out bags, raccoons tend to get into them and you may find your trash all over your yard. Please do not put trash out before 6 pm Wednesday night and please remember to take your cans in Thursday after pickup.
