While sooooo much good is noted above there is also the bad....there are some who
have no respect for all the time, effort and money people put into making and keeping things nice for our residents.
The good...Penn Township provides a compost site for all to enjoy. Providing a place, easily accessible to all, to get rid of all the unwanted yard waste. Penn Township then grinds and prepares these materials to provide mulch and compost FREE to all.
The bad....what do we get for that, we get all the crap that does not belong at the compost site. Your roofing shingles, your cinder blocks, your transport containers, your flower pots and garbage bags, your treated wood and construction waste etc...this is what will ruin this free service for all of us. Remember this is YOUR compost site, while the police patrol it as they can, you can report any illegal or even suspicious activity. Violators will be prosecuted. If it's not yard waste material, then it is littering!
The good...WOW, have you been to the new park restrooms? This was an 80K project that happened because of the generosity and voluntarism of a select few, who worked their tales off to provide a nice clean modern restroom. What could be better then to have a great day at the park with your sports team, your family for a picnic, moms and their children at the play set, a company picnic, a great place to just hang out with friends.... and boy o boy, what if you need to go to the bathroom, taaadaaaa, there just happens to be a great restroom!
The bad...some have still not learned mature bathroom etiquette. Again, these bathrooms belong to the users of the park...if you see inappropriate behavior by anyone of any age you need to report what you see. I so believe in karma....you can't continue to do wrong and get away with it, just so you know!
Remember, Penn Township belongs to all of us,
let's not allow a few to ruin all the good we have.

East Snyder Park News…
The newest project getting ready to take off at the East Snyder Park is the completion of a veteran's memorial monument. This monument will complete an area near the entrance to the park that will be pleasing to the eye and have special meaning to many. The monument will be a perfect way to honor and salute those who sacrificed so much, enabling each of us to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!
The East Snyder Regional Recreation Association has organized a monogrammed brick sale that will help to fund the completion of the project. All monogrammed bricks will be installed around the base of the monument and will permanently show your support of your favorite veteran(s).
It's been pointed out the bricks can be for anyone and not veterans only. You can show your support of East Snyder Park, its volunteers etc. with your message.
The goal is to sell 350 – 375. Get an order form with all the details and place your order today.
$50 – 4" x 8" brick – up to four lines (see the example)
$100 – 8" x 8" brick – up to eight lines
A scaled drawing of the proposed finished memorial is in the link below.
Order forms will be available at your local veterans club, www.eastsnyderpark.com,
at www.penn-township.net, (see below for a link to order form) at the Penn Township office or any park board member.

Penn Township recycling site continues to exceed our expectations!
Except for the occasional items like, an iron, plate glass, a couple tires,
and the numerous plastic 'clam shell' type containers,
our residents and the surrounding areas are doing a good job
at only leaving the acceptable items.
The security cameras are up and running,
allowing us to review any visit to our recycling bin.
Charges will be filed against anyone who abuses our site.
Bins are clearly marked indicating what goes where.
There is an information flyer for recycler's on the fence with detailed
bin information and is updated as warranted.
Take a look at the board along the fence.
This displays items left behind that are NOT accepted here.
Quick list of things to note:
-
All boxes must be broken down.
-
NO deli trays, NO strawberry containers, NO clear plastic cookie trays and the like, these are NOT a #1 or #2 bottle or jug.
-
Take all your bags home with you - unless they contain shredded paper
-
Read the signs on bins, they are clearly marked.
-
Plate glass is not allowed - we are not the landfill.
-
Compressing any plastics and returning lid to container saves lots of space and makes our site even more efficient...keeping it free!
-
Cardboard bin - all cardboard, books (hard and soft cover), junk mail, packaging boxes, bagged shredded paper, ANY clean dry paper material go in this one bin!
The printable document below has a map of the site indicating
how the bins will be situated and what goes in each.
Caps may remain on all #1 and #2 plastics!
Rinse, compress and return cap to bottle or jug.
