Palmer Township Receives Recycling Performance Grant
Recently, the township received a grant in the amount of $132,231 from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. This grant is in recognition of the amount of material we, as a township, have recycled in 2008. By viewing the Recycling Grant graph you can see how much money we have received over the years. Since the recycling program began in 1991 the township has received $1,705,793 from the DEP.
The Cell Phones for Soldiers has been a success with our residents donating 150 phones to the program. The Environmental Steering Committee will continue the program for other non-profits. Residents can drop off their unwanted cell phones at the Recycle Center on Hartley Ave.
Northampton County has requested that we notify our residents of a new Emergency Alerting System which has been put into effect by the county's Emergency Management Services. This system will allow residents to receive severe weather alerts, transportation delays, Amber Alerts and other public safety information on their email, text messages to cell phones, smart phones and pages.
