Christmas Tree Recycling

The Borough will be recycling Christmas trees this year. Laxton has been advised not to pick up trees. Please take off any tinsel or similar type of decorations. Please DO NOT use plastic bags on your trees as we can not recycle trees with bags on them. Recycling the trees is better for the environment and saves cost on trash disposal. Trees are not light and there is a fee from Delaware County per ton of trash from the Borough. The Public Works department will come around on an as needed basis to pick up the trees.

Let’s “Pick it Up” for Safer Recreation and Cleaner Water

Pet waste is a source of many harmful microorganisms that can be transmitted from the waste to humans if it is not promptly picked up and disposed of. This list includes E. coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Brucellosis, and roundworm parasites. Many of these microorganisms will last months in the soil, and some up to four years, if not immediately cleaned up from lawns, along trails, in parks or preserves. Children and landscape workers who care for our lawns, gardens, and public areas are most at risk. Studies have shown that dog waste is also a significant source of bacterial and nutrient contamination to streams, especially during the “first flush” from a rain storm which carries the majority of the pollution washing off of lawns and hard surfaces.

Multi Municipality Comprehensive Plan

This is the comprehensive plan that has been worked on for several years. These are plans the three Boroughs would like to do but nothing is set in stone nor guaranteed to happen.

Helping Hands

The Borough is looking for residents to sign up for the "Helping Hands" list.

The "Helping Hands" list is a list of people willing to cut grass or shovel snow for older residents or residents unable to do it themselves. These people can either volunteer to do it for nothing or will charge the person requesting the service directly. As good citizens, it would be the best if people did not charge those in need. Giving is better than receiving.

All those interested in signing up for the Helping Hands list please contact us, by mail, telephone or e-mail.
