What to do with yard Waste due to "Ike" - Update - Township
Help is coming Tues 9-16 'til 8 p.m., Wed. 9-3, Thurs 9-8
Update as of Tuesday 9-16, 2:24 p.m. - Township Service Department will travel back and forth between Sunbury Woods and Huber Ridge to assist with "Ike" clean up. They are working until 8:00 p.m. tonight, Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Look for township trucks driving slowly in the neighborhood. If you see a township truck, and your yard waste is at the curb (or easily accessible), stop the truck and load it into the back. Law does not permit the township workers to load it for you, however, the township will get rid of it for you.
Last report was they were taking the debris down to Ridgewood Park for the Boy Scouts to mulch it and use for the path.
This latest update is from John Giamarco, Service Director. Thanks to our service department and Stewart Flaherty, trustee, for helping the community recover.
Spread the word - some still do not have power.
Neighbors are doing a wonderful job of being great neighbors by helping each other clean up after all the storm damage. Keep it up - you are shining.
The township's first priority is making sure our streets are passable. Other debris on the street should be cleaned up by us. The township's second priority is cemetery clean up. We are responsible for our own property clean up.
There is another option - if you can load up your debris, you can take it to Kurtz Brothers, say you are from Huber Ridge, and they will direct you where to dump your yard waste. Lines are long.
Remember, Local Waste will only accept bundles of debris - properly tied up, and not exceeding 4 feet in length.
Lots are still without power, some have suffered serious storm damage. Let's continue to find ways to help each other.
