Wright Twp. Doubles Business Recycling Permit Fee to $250; Slocum Twp. Improves Memorial Park
Wright Township supervisors voted to increase the recycling permit fee for businesses from $125 to $250 at their January meeting. The recycling center is available to businesses on Wednesdays and to residents on Saturdays, with no charge for Wright Twp. residents.
The permit fee for other Mountain Top residents remains at $30. The costs for yard waste compost center permits will stay at $25 for township residents, $50 for other Mountain Top residents, and $250 for businesses.
Additionally, amendments to the data center ordinance were approved. Slocum Township is enhancing Memorial Park, having raised enough funds to install twelve memorial benches, with plans for two more. Recent renovations include upgraded basketball and tennis courts funded by $111,650 in Luzerne County LSA grants.
Remaining funds will be used for park walkway improvements. Fairview Township appointed Patrick Rushton as auditor and advised residents to clear vehicles from roadways during snowstorms.
