Spring is just around the corner...I'm sure of it! Still looking for some volunteers to....
ADOPT A FLOWER BED
There are about 15 flower beds within the East Snyder Park, each varying in size. The park and rec board is looking for individuals or groups who would be willing to take the responsibility for the upkeep of a designated bed or maybe 'just a section' of a larger bed.
This would be a great opportunity to give back to the community,
put your gardening skills to work and add a touch of YOU to the East Snyder Park.
If you or your group are interested please contact the township office at 570-374-4778 or Pete and Cookie DeWire at 570-259-1838.

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.
Our security cameras are up and finally 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, strawberry containers, 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.
