I. INTRODUCTION

Boroughs are statutorily authorized to provide and charge residents for garbage-collection services. The primary issue in this appeal is whether boroughs also have the implied or incidental authority to record a real property lien to secure payment of garbage-collection fees. We conclude they do not have that authority.
