Staying Committed to Containing COVID-19 We are one of only three states in the country that has flattened our curve while reopening our economy. We have a lot to celebrate as our counties continue to move from the Yellow Phase to the Green Phase in our reopening plan. Our collective efforts to contain COVID-19 is paying off, but our work is far from over. When we move to the Green Phase, remember that it isn’t a return to how things were before. We must stay alert to keep the virus from resurging. Under every phase, we must: •tWear masks in public •tKeep our physical distance of six feet or more •tWash our hands frequently for at least 20 seconds •tClean and disinfect surfaces often •tLimit group gatherings and crowds Masks Are Mandatory Wearing a mask is an important part of keeping COVID-19 from spreading. Everyone must wear a mask. That includes workers and customers. Remember, my mask protects you and your mask protects me.

Single-Stream Recycling

What is Single Stream Recycling?

Single Stream Recycling means that you don’t have to separate your recyclables.  Instead place all of your recyclable materials, such as paper, cans, and bottles, in the same container, and take the container out to the curb.

This has many benefits.   Single stream recycling has been shown to increase household recycling by 25%.  This saves time by not having to separate recyclables. Recycling helps to lower the Borough’s trash bill and improves the environment.
