Recycle!

Thanks to the Ed Foundation Green Initiative Committee for purchasing labels for our trash cans and recycle bins! There is a lot of confusion regarding what goes where and these new labels should help. If it's not on the label and if there is no recycling symbol on it, then it's trash. And what about the round green bins with the holes for bottles You can keep on using those like you always have been, but you can put your bottles and cans in the blue recycling bins too.

Pennsylvania Youth Survey

Later in the month of October, the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) will again be administering the Pennsylvania Youth PAYS survey. The survey is a scientifically validated tool designed to gather Pennsylvania youths’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviors around alcohol, tobacco, and other drug usage, violence and other problem issues.
