Updated Recycling Info – Reduce Contamination

Posted on

Salisbury Township has been alerted that costs will increase due to China’s restrictions on contaminated recyclables.

Termed the “China Sword”, in July 2017, China announced changes for imported recyclables which included a drastic reduction in acceptable contamination levels in recycled paper and plastic and a ban on imported mixed paper. The changes took effect March 1, 2018. Municipal recycling programs are now being affected.

COMMUNITY WARNING – Fake mailers divert donations away from fire department

Posted on

In recent weeks, fundraising solicitations and requests for volunteer firefighters have been showing up all over PA. They are from a group called Volunteer Firefighter Alliance from Topeka, Kansas. A mailer from the “Volunteer Firefighter Alliance” was sent to a resident in Winona Lakes, which is a private community in Middle Smithfield Township. The pre-printed envelope instructs the recipient to send his or her donations to the alliance’s address in Topeka, Kansas, but no such organization has shared those donations with East Stroudsburg’s fire company. A similar scam was reported in the area this month. Stroud Township Volunteer Fire Department warned in early August that someone was falsely claiming to collect donations for the department via phone calls.  Residents are asked to be mindful of the actual sender.
