RECYCLING ISSUE:

We have been informed by the recycling company that they will not permit us to bring our recyclables to their facility if bags keep getting thrown in the recycle truck. We have already moved companies once due to this issue. If this does not stop immediately the Supervisors will have no choice but to discontinue recycling in the Township completely. Please pass this information on to everyone you know who uses this service.
Your bags are not to be left on the fence either, they must be taken with you.
