• You’ll pick up your plants on one Saturday in mid-May at Koenig Field. The following day, Sunday, is the rain day (only if rain is heavy). The pickup date and times are TBD and we'll let you know.
• After February 13 (see #2 above), seeds will be ordered. There will be extra plants available after that, but the folks who order and pay by 2/13 will get first choice.
• Plant varieties will be removed from their web page asap if/when capacity is reached.
• Some plants, mostly tomatoes, have not been as popular as others, but some folks order them every year. Using seeds already on hand, these varieties are listed as LIMITED SUPPLY on the last page of 2023 Herbs & Veggies, and in the drop down menu’s plant names on the web page. When these plant orders reach capacity they will also be removed from their web page.

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.
