CANCELLED - Movie/Sleepover in the Park
CANCELLED - We're sorry to announce that we have decided to
cancel tomorrow's movie/sleepover in the park event due to predicted
showers/possible thunderstorms. We wanted to give everyone enough notice
to adjust plans. Stay tuned though, as we will look at the possibility
of rescheduling in the next few weeks.
We're teaming up again with the Edgewood Foundation to bring you a
Movie Night plus 'Sleepover in the Park' on Saturday, September 9. For
our last summer feature, we are playing the classic adventure film 'Jumanji'
(1995, starring Robin Williams). This film is rated PG, but contains
some scenes which may be frightening for younger audiences.
Set up your tents, plus blankets/chairs and enjoy the movie, along
with some water and snacks provided by the Foundation. Then stay all
night in the park! Donuts, juice, and coffee will be available in the
morning for those who stay. (for questions regarding the Sleepover
event, please contact the Edgewood Foundation)
The movie starts at dusk. All Koenig Field rules must be followed.
All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please check our Facebook
page, Edgewood
Borough Community Events, for updates and additional information.

Notice of Proposed Ordinance Eliminating Single Use Plastics
Edgewood Borough Council is considering enacting legislation that
would prohibit the use of single use plastic bags, straws, Styrofoam and
other plastics by commercial retail establishments for the purpose of
transporting goods or food away from the establishment. Customers would
have the option of carrying their goods in either recycled paper bags or
bringing their own bags. The draft ordinance is available
here. No date for enactment has been set.

Important Change to Recycling
As of January 1, 2021, Republic Services is no longer accepting any
glass with curbside Recycling Collection. Glass has the tendency to
break during collection and contaminates other recyclables with fine
shards of glass. Any contaminated items are forced to be rejected, and
sent to a landfill. To continue recycling glass items, Republic Services
has stationed a large blue dumpster in the parking lot behind the
Edgewood Borough Building, 2 Race Street, for items to be dropped off at
residents' convenience. This bin is located next to the paper collection
bins.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only bring your CLEAN glass recyclables,
without lids, to place in the bin.
