Council Meeting Dates Adjusted for November

Adjustments have been made to the borough council meetings dates and the DPW garbage collection calendar for the coming weeks as a result of Election Day on Nov. 8.

Normally the borough council meets on the second and fourth Thursday of the month but instead the Borough Clerk’s office has announced meetings will be held Tuesday, Nov. 15 and Tuesday, Nov. 29.

Also officials say DPW will pick up garbage for Zone 2 next Tuesday, Election Day, an exception as the borough no longer conducts garbage collection on holidays as an effort to reduce costs. However with two holidays falling in the same week as Veterans Day falls on Friday, Nov. 2 the area would have gone a whole week with no collection, with could be a potential hazard.

Zone 2 includes the area of Lincoln Avenue up to Franklin and all streets east of Terrace Avenue.

Officials also remind residents that Saturday, Nov. 5 the borough will once again host a free paper shredding event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for residents and business owners to discard sensitive documents safely.  

Councilman David Gonzalez once again promises to get in the dunk tank at next year’s street fair if the borough reaches its goal of shredding 6,500 pounds on Saturday.
