Borough

Historical
Society
Continuing our series on the
history of Paxtang, the Paxtang Historical Society meeting on
January 3 featured Bob McCloskey as speaker. He talked about
life in Colonial Paxtang. Our next meeting, April 4, 2005,
will feature families who lived in Paxtang Valley during Colonial
times. We will have representatives from the Elder family and the
Rutherford family as our speakers.

Paxtang Toddler
Time
Space for young children to
stretch their legs during cold weather! Recreation time for pre-K
children in the Paxtang gymnasium: 10-11a.m. Jan. 28 and Feb.25.
All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Paxtang
residents only please. Contact Karen Benjamin at 558-0801 with any
questions.
Sponsor a Tree
The Shade Tree Commission has
been a proud accomplishment of Paxtang Borough for many years.
Recently, there have been more budget cutbacks and we are unable to
accomplish our usual plantings. Please consider sponsoring a tree
in the borough. Plaques are provided with the purchase of a tree.
You could purchase it as a family to complete a memorable occasion,
in honor of someone special, or in memory of a loved one. Whatever
the reason, it is a win for everyone.
Trash Collection
The Borough's trash collection
contract is with Waste Management. If your trash pickup is missed,
please call the Borough Office to report it for record keeping. If
you have a large item (ie., appliances or furniture) sitting
outside for an extended period of time, you need to contact Waste
Management at 1-800-634-4595 to arrange a pick up. Please note that
you will be charged a nominal fee. Note: We would like to use the
e-mail as an information/communication tool for updates and
emergency information within the borough.
Trash Guidelines
All trash must be in bags,
placed inside trash containers and covered with a lid. This assists
in a clean and easy pick up for Waste Management. Trash can be
placed in your designated trash pick up area as early as 4p.m. on
the day prior to pickup. Trash cans shall be put away following
pick up as late as 10p.m. on the day of pick up. Our trash
ordinance requires that your trash receptacles need to be off the
street by 10:00 PM the day of the scheduled pick up. This
part of ordinance was designed to keep the receptacles from sitting
out on our Main streets. We do also ask that receptacles on
secondary streets (alleys) be put neatly away and not left strewn
in the street. Thank you for your cooperation.
Attention Rental Property
Owners
It is your responsibility to
advise the Borough Office 564-4770 when your renters leave or
change. The office needs to keep rental property information up to
date and inform the Central Dauphin School District of tenants with
children in the Borough.
Vehicles Parked in a
Yard
Please be aware that it is
against Borough ordinances to park any type of vehicle in a yard
unless it is a designated parking area and meets Code requirement
as to the type of surface the vehicle is to be parked. Check
with Brian Seneca our Codes Officer at 773-0636 to make sure your
in compliance.
