Welcome to the Borough of Patterson Heights

Community Day is back!

Come to the Park for food, fun, and lots of entertainment.  Mark your calendar for August 3rd, and watch this site for more information as the date gets closer.

At this time plans include recognition and awards for our firefighters, a DJ, face painting, magic, Brusster's ice cream, balloon animals, a movie, popcorn, a dunk tank, and fire trucks for the kids to explore, ALL FREE!!

Available for purchase will be food and baked goods provided by the Fire Department and the Ladies' Auxiliary.

We are in the process of scheduling a day of street sweeping.  Watch for the signs announcing the day.  During the sweeping session you will be asked to not park your cars on the streets.

You have probably noticed the gutters full of small stones.  This is actually leftover "anti-skid," mixed with road salt in the winter.  We don't want it to end up in the storm sewers--hence the street sweeping.

IMPORTANT:  NO PARKING SIGNS WILL BE IN PLACE, AND WILL BE ENFORCED!

  The Ladies' Auxiliary organizes programs, fundraisers, and other activities for the benefit of the residents and fire fighters of Patterson Heights.  The Auxiliary meets the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the Borough Building.  The next meeting is scheduled for June 4th.  The Auxiliary welcomes all guests, and would love to have you as a member.  Contact Fran Levinger or Sue Pokego (numbers listed above) for more information.   

You have probably seen that Bryan is once again collecting bags of yard waste.  He will continue this service into the fall.  As we said previously, leaves will be picked up, but only if they are placed in paper bags.  While sticks, twigs, and branches can be bundled and tied (maximum four-feet long, each bundle small enough to handle), all other yard waste, including leaves, must be placed in bags.

DO NOT put your leaves in the street, as you do in autumn.

Some tips:  You can put any kind of plant material, such as twigs, branches, weeds, leaves, grass) into the brown bags, but nothing else.  This means no metal, plastic, plastic grocery bags, and especially glass.  Unfortunately, all these items were found in bags last year,  the glass causing severe cuts to Bryan's arm!  

Finally, a bag packed full with grass is either going to be too heavy to lift into the truck, or moisture in the grass will make the bottom fall out of the bag.  We ask you to keep the bags to 35 pounds or less.  Yard waste pickup is a valuable service provided by the Borough.  Please help by using common sense.

Our paper recycling box, located behind the Municipal Building, was emptied last week for the second time this year.  Each full box holds between 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 tons of paper, so we have already surpassed last year's total.  

The corrugated cardboard is picked up each Thursday.

Unfortunately, we still see lots of cardboard left out for the trash on Monday mornings!  

Bring your paper and cardboard down to the collection bins behind the Municipal Building.  Why?  See the item below about the Leaf Machine.

Many thanks to the best Election Team in Beaver County--Rosemary Bellan, Sue Philipp, Lynn Doyle, and reliever Fran Levinger.  They know what they're doing, and they're a pleasure to work with.

Thanks also to the Ladies' Auxiliary for the home-baked treats they sold on Election Day.

Thanks to Bryan Landman for getting the meeting room in such good shape for Election Day.
