Council member Fred Laird raised a proposal Dec. 29 to establish recycling drop-off locations at each end of the borough, suggesting the borough could collect glass, tin (metal) and plastic and investigate cardboard options to reduce tipping fees and save money.
Laird recommended placing the sites in well-lit areas with surveillance to limit dumping and other issues. The council agreed to add the recycling proposal to the Jan. 5, 2026 agenda for staff to provide additional analysis and recommendations, including potential locations, collection scope and any costs or savings estimates. No budget or timeline was specified on Dec. 29.
