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 food cans and lids (tin and steel), metal pots and pans, empty aerosol cans and milk-soup-juice-brothwine-cream-egg substitute cartons. Please empty and clean containers and do not put into bags. Bins are only available to Berwick Borough residents. For more information, call the recycling coordinator, Curt Rider, at 570-752-2723, ext. 27, or visit www.berwickborough.org.
Bloomsburg Bloomsburg’s Recycling Center is at 901 Patterson Drive.

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. 17, and run until Wednesday, Nov. 23. 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.

years. Every business faces its share of challenges over decades, but we are proud to say that we have maintained a successful operation in Bloomsburg, thanks in large part to our dedicated employees and local partnerships. For example, we regularly meet with our Community Advisory Board, which includes members from the State Senate, County Commission, office of the Bloomsburg Mayor and others, to explore current community needs and the best ways Kawneer and Alcoa can support them. Over the past eight years alone, the Bloomsburg plant was able to contribute nearly $900,000 in grants to local organizations and initiatives, along with countless hours of volunteer support. Is there anything else about your business you would like the general public to know? High-performance, innovative products are still made here at home! Kawneer (and Alcoa) has many employment opportunities available in Bloomsburg and beyond. I’ve been here 8 years, and I can tell you it’s a great place to work.
