Recycling with Tri-County will begin August 12 and every other week thereafter. 8/26 would be the other pickup in August. If we find out the pickup isn't every other week, but specific weeks during the month, we'll post that info here.

Hi Borough Residents & Business. The Borough has, effective August 1, changed from Waste Mangement as its trash/recycling provider to Tri-County. You will begin to notice brown trash carts being delivered. The solid brown carts are for garbage and the ones with blue lids are for recycling. This week's pickup will be provided by WM, so use the green carts. We don't know when WM will begin picking up their bins yet, so please leave them visible for now.

Tri-County pickup will be on Tuesdays each week for garbage and recycling will be picked up twice monthly or every other week. We'll let you know next week which Tuesdays will be recycle days.

Household hazardous waste services will be provided by Tri-County. We'll let you know how to arrange for those services (disposal of paints, stains, oil, electronics, etc). bulk items will be picked up at no additional charge, but you'll need to call Tri-County to arrange for the pickup. Mattresses must be wrapped in plastic in order to be picked up.

We'll have additional information for you soon once the last of the details have been worked out with Tri-County. Please mention this post to your friends who don't have Facebook. A notice will be in the News Journal soon. Our apologies for the lateness of this notice, details of the conversion are still ongoing.

Hi Residents. When you place your garbage bins at the road for pickup, please make sure you follow the instructions imprinted on the top of the bin. If the bin is placed in the wrong direction, the arms on the truck will pickup the bin, but sometimes the bin slips out of the arms and into the truck and the bin is automatically crushed. Make sure you have the bin in the correct direction/position.

Also, the garbage truck can't mix household garbage and yard clippings, leaves, etc. Please don't put your lawn debris in the bins. Apparently the garbage in the truck actually generates heat and if combustible items are added to the mix, a truck fire can occur. There might be a countywide burn ban right now, so burning your lawn debris isn't an option at this moment. We'll be contacting WM to see what is involved in scheduling a special pickup just for lawn debris.

Join us for an update on the economic diversification and development for Forest County. The Tionesta meeting is on March 24 and the Marienville session is on March 25. Also, representatives from West Virginia University will be in attendance presenting on Brownfields. These individuals work with the US EPA in our region and have been very helpful. At the last meeting, the public was very interested in the subject, so there will be people in attendance to facilitate a discussion. If anyone has a site or sites in mind, please share so an inventory for potential remediation projects Forest County can be started. Once sites are cleaned up, they can be used for potential development.

Realized earlier today that a date on the previous flyer was incorrect. This one is correct. The Tionesta meeting is on January 29 and the Marienville session is on January 30. Also, representatives from West Virginia University will be in attendance presenting on Brownfields. These individuals work with the US EPA in our region and have been very helpful. At the last meeting, the public was very interested in the subject, so there will be people in attendance to facilitate a discussion. If anyone has a site or sites in mind, please share so an inventory for potential remediation projects Forest County can be started. Once sites are cleaned up, they can be used for potential development.
