4th Ward News & Information

Greetings!

Dan Siegel's Photo
This Newsletter will focus on recycling and other issues of relevance to residents. Please note that I frequently add content to the 4th Ward website, www.4haverford.com, and appreciate all of the compliments and suggestions you have made. 
 
I continue to compile an e-mail list so that most of my communications can be electronic (rather than more expensive and less-environmentally-friendly postal mail).  Please forward this newsletter to your neighbors so that they can receive timely information about Township events.
 
Finally, feel free to offer opinions, to ask questions, and to keep me informed about anything happening in the Township. I welcome the opportunity to meet with community groups and look forward to meeting all residents of the 4th Ward.

Recycling - Saving Money & The Environment
 
Single Stream Recycling is saving Haverford Township money, and helping the environment. According to Township Manager Larry Gentile, the Township saved approximately $16,000.00 during January - the first month of the program.
 
The Township's first solid waste invoice from Delaware County (for January 2009) was $22,788.00, for a total of 1,433 tons of waste, a reduction of 877 tons of solid waste from January last year. In addition, the Township's fuel usage was reduced by 470 gallons, an additional savings of $1,805.00 for January.
 
Therefore, for one month of single stream recycling, the Township saved $15,805.00 because of Single Stream Recycling.
Recycling Cans & Labels

I have received many calls and emails inquiring where to obtain the new blue Township recycling cans. New residents received one free can; all other residents can purchase cans from the Township for $18.00 (essentially the Township's cost per can). You can stop by the Township Building at 2325 Darby Road to purchase/obtain your can, or call (610) 446-1000 and speak to the Public Works Department for more information.

Alternatively, you can put "Township of Haverford Recycles" stickers on any of your cans. I have a limited supply of the free stickers, or you can contact the Township (see above) to obtain them. Once you place the sticker on a can, however, you can only use it for recycling materials.
 
Thanks for helping to save tax dollars and for helping to improve the environment.
