Advisory

Tropical Storm Isaias Vegetative Debris

This is a message from the Office of Emergency Management:

As we recover from the effects of Tropical Storm Isaias, residents are asked to place tree limbs and vegetative debris curbside.  To allow residents time to clean-up, beginning Monday, August 10, 2020, the Department of Public Works will be picking up all residential vegetative debris.  Due to current power outages, the Borough’s Recycling Center is temporarily closed.  Any resident wishing to discard vegetative debris on their own may do so in the parking lot of Gravelly Brook Park (1 Gravelly Brook Way), the Borough’s approved Temporary Debris Management Area (TDMA).  The gate to the parking lot will be open daily from approximately 8:00 am to dusk.   Due to the opening of the TDMA, Gravelly Brook Park will be closed until further notice.

During the clean-up, residents are reminded to stay clear of any cordoned-off areas containing downed lines of any type. 

The Mayor & Council, Borough Administration and Office of Emergency Management have had multiple contacts with JCP&L in an effort to have power restored as quickly as possible.  We will provide updates as they are received. Thank you for your patience. 
Please remember to continue to wear a mask and practice social distancing as we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
