Over 200 of the 600 cans were picked up by residents at that event.

With each can, came a flyer explaining proper recycling methods.

“Residents were excited to receive these dedicated containers to further the Borough’s recycling efforts and are spreading the word so that we get full participation in this program,” added Mayor Pikolycky.

Any residents who did not claim their containers at this event can do so at the Public Works Garage, 401 Madison Avenue, on Wednesdays between 10 am and noon. Proof of residency is required.
