• Missed Pickups, Rodent Problems Put Hawthorne Garbage Company Under Pressure (tapinto.net) — Hawthorne officials are warning the borough's new garbage hauler after weeks of missed pickups, early-morning collections, and rodent complaints at a Westervelt Avenue apartment building. At the August 12 council meeting, leaders discussed fines, formal notices, and even pulling the company's performance bond, while also reminding residents to follow container and curbside rules as they monitor service before the next meeting on September 2.
