Public Works Schedule

Message from the Mayor

The townwide clean-up day is scheduled for Saturday, April 28^th from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  At that time you will be able to come down to the Public Works Yard, 300 Monroe Street (next to Sewer Plant) and drop off various items.  Containers will be provided for yard waste (leaves, branches, grass), recyclable materials (computers, TVs, wood, concrete, brick, asphalt, metals), and limited trash. Construction debris, hazardous materials, and household cleanouts will not be accommodated.  Proof of residency will also be required.    

Also, I would like to make you aware of our plan to clean up the downtown area. There has been extra effort by Public Works, store owners and the public to make and keep the streets/curblines free of litter. There are large flower pots along Scott St that were planted courtesy of the Riverlution Church last year. We are looking for groups/businesses/or families that would like to take on a planter this year?!?! If you are interested please reach out to Meghan Jack 461-1460 x4, the residents would appreciate your donation and willingness to beautify the downtown area.

Soon you will also see lights being strung in the trees on Scott Street. It is the goal of the Township Committee to brighten up our town. So many judge a community by what they see, and we are going to make a difference. If you would like to also do something special to brighten up your neighborhood, please do. We want you to be proud of our town and we all can make a difference together.

Thank You!!!!

Lorraine Hatcher
