Recycling Berwick
In November 2014, the Borough of Berwick moved to Single Stream Recycling. Under the single-stream recycling system, all recyclables go into a single bin. At the recycling plant, recyclables are loaded onto a conveyer belt and pushed off in response to certain stimuli: magnets lift iron-based metals from the belt; puffs of air blow paper from the line, and so on. This means no more separating recyclables. Acceptable items include newspaper and inserts, magazines and catalogs, junk mail, envelopes, file folders, shredded paper, office white and colored computer paper (staples and paper clips OK), corrugated cardboard boxes, cereal and gift boxes (remove liners), paper bags, phone books, books, aluminum cans (soda and beer), aluminum foil and foil plates, glass bottles and jars (food and drink only), #1 through #7 plastic containers, metal Press Enterprise/Bill Hughes food cans and lids (tin and steel), metal pots StuDentS from Magic Carpet Preschool in Bloomsburg take a tour of the Bloomsand pans, empty aerosol cans and milkburg Recycling Center in April 2015.

All haulers must be registered as an Authorized Hauler with the township, check the Township website for a complete list at scott-township.com. Residents are required to recycle newspaper, glass containers, plastic bottles and metal cans per the township ordinance and are encouraged to recycle all materials that the authorized hauler will collect. Call your hauler for details. Please also be advised that the fall leaf collection will begin on Monday, Oct. 16, and run until Wednesday, Nov. 22. Collectors ask that you arrange leaves in a row instead of in a pile, and rake them as close to the road as possible. Please also remove all foreign objects and stones from the leaves to be collected, as these items damage equipment, resulting in costly delays of the collection process. THERE IS NO SET SCHEDULE FOR LEAF COLLECTION. The leaf truck has a set route to follow around the township, and the frequency of collection along that route depends upon how many leaves are out for collection at that time. There is a leaf disposal area open to residents located behind the Township Building where leaves can be deposited at any time.

Serving Your Community
O
ne of the well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference to the lives of people, animals and organizations in need. And volunteering is a two-way street: it can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. The right match can help you to reduce stress, find friends,
reach out to the community, learn new skills and perhaps advance your career. Figure out what your interest is and make a contact to that organization. There are many food banks, libraries, fire companies, churches and other organizations listed in this special edition that could meet your needs. Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. Volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Don’t wait, get started today!
