From Paxtang

Spring has arrived!

The flowers are starting to bud and I began my yard cleaning once again. As I was raking leaves and cutting branches, I thought it would be nice to have a community wide cleanup in April and May. I hereby challenge the residents of Paxtang to roll up their sleeves this spring and start with a few simple steps.

1. Pick up the trash that blows around the borough. Trash is to be kept in bags and placed in trash containers with lids. Spring time brings furry creatures, young and old looking for food. They will stay where the food is plenty. Proper trash receptacles will deter the animals and avoid the mess for you and your neighbors.

2. Straighten up outside your home as you would inside your home. Maintain lawns and flower beds and keep the weeds or grass from growing to the height of small children. I know I am personally in constant battle with the weeds on my property during the summer months. I wouldn't ask for perfect properties as we are all short on time however, keeping weeds maintained makes a huge difference in the curb appeal for your home and our community.

3. Enjoy the Spring air and sunshine with your family and friends!

Warmest Regards, Mayor Stambaugh
