Bradford Township residents will be able to dispose of unwanted items Saturday at the municipal building as part of the annual spring cleanup.
Supervisor Jim Erwin said during a meeting Monday that the event is slated for 8 to 10 a.m.
“If you bring a vehicle in you have to bring your garbage slips with you,” he said. “There is a receipt that needs to be brought in to prove you are a resident because we’re not going to take everybody’s garbage.”
The spring cleanup will happen rain or shine, and township workers will load the items into packers for disposal.
Tires, TVs and electronics will not be accepted at this cleanup. But in the coming weeks, tires could be picked up in the municipality.
“We’re going to try to get rid of a bunch of tires this summer,” Erwin said.
In other matters, the supervisors:
• ratified a motion made via phone call and conducted by township secretary Susan Gibiser on April 12 to obtain the supervisors’ permission to reallocate $10,000 in funds from 2016 the demolition project program to to the housing rehabilitation program through the county’s Community Development Block Grant funding program.
• adopted a resolution to officially name private roads –– Cardinal Lane and Buck Ridge Road –– in the township that intersect with South Avenue and West Washington Street, respectively, for the county’s enhanced 911 public safety systems.
• accepted the resignation of Donald Gifford as a garbage department employee. He was seriously injured in an accident while working on the township’s garbage removal route in 2017.
Also during the meeting, Supervisor Gayle Bauer gave the police report, saying that the officers responded to 1,069 hours of service and six motor vehicle accidents.
“They’ll continue the aggressive traffic and driving enforcement and seatbelt compliance during (the month of) May, and this is in conjunction with other local departments and the state police as part of a grant through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,” she said.
Also, Police Chief Robb Shipman reminded area residents to the need to pay attention while in and around construction zones. He said that much of the complaints coming from flaggers and workers stem from the fact people are looking at their phones while driving instead of keeping their eyes on the road.
Erwin also announced that the Sleepy Hollow bridge project would get started in June. The bridge is slated to be replaced.
The supervisors will hold their next regular meeting June 11, starting 7 p.m. at 136 Hemlock St.
