Eagle Disposal News - Yard Waste Pick Up Resumes May 1st

4/24/2020

Good news from Eagle Disposal:
Eagle will resume yard waste collections on May 1st (for Wednesday/Thursday trash customers) and May 8th (for Monday/Tuesday customers). Since Eagle’s staffing is still depleted, please limit your yard waste at the curb to the usual amount (5 biodegradable bags and 4 bundles of branches per pick up – see the full guidelines here: https://bit.ly/3eLrYLv
Bulk item collection will resume on Monday, May 4th. One bulk item per week per residence will be picked up.
Trash bags still need to be tied tight and placed in the cart or can.
Cardboard recycling should be bundled, to help with efficiency, but no longer needs to fit in your recycle bin.
We recognize that it may take some time to get caught up with your bulk items and yard waste and we appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Since we had to cancel our Caln Pride Day Community Clean Up this year, we thought it would be nice to feature some examples of all the ways our citizens and businesses are being good neighbors during these trying times. Are you making masks? Wearing masks? Helping out your neighbors? Supporting local businesses? Practicing good social distancing? We want to see pictures! Email them to aswan@calntownship.org. Every Friday we'll add them to a Caln Pride photo album on Facebook and here on our website.

Yard Waste Burning is Prohibited

4/9/2020

0 Comments

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Township is unable to offer Yard Waste pickup at this time. We understand that this may seem a burden, and changes will need to be made on your part in order to assist with compliance.

The burning of Yard Waste; leaves, sticks, limbs, and Trash or Construction Material is NOT permitted in Caln Township. Please be advised that this type of burning is ILLEGAL regardless of whether openly burned, or in a barrel. Offenders are subject to a fine in the amount not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), plus all court costs.

Given that Chester County and Caln Township are currently experiencing community-wide spread of COVID-19, there is a need to minimize any additional pressure on emergency personnel, both in terms of response and unnecessary potential contact with people who may have COVID-19.

Please note that Township Burning Regulations and an Outdoor Burn Permit Application (for recreational and bonfires only) can be obtained by clicking on the link below:

As a community we need to work together to assure the safety of everyone. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support.

2020 Primary Election Rescheduled - June 2, 2020

4/1/2020

0 Comments

On March 27, Governor Wolf signed Senate Bill 422, which reschedules Pennsylvania’s primary election from April 28 to June 2 due to the COVID-19 emergency. Voters have the option to vote by mail-in ballot rather than going to their polling place on election day. Mail-in ballot applications will be accepted through Tuesday, May 26, 2020. If a voter has already applied for an absentee or mail-in ballot, they do NOT need to reapply.

Absentee ballot – If you plan to be out of the municipality on election day or if you have a disability or illness, you should request this ballot type, which still requires you to list a reason for your ballot.
Mail-in ballot – If you aren’t an absentee voter, you may apply for a mail-in ballot. You may simply request this ballot without a reason.

In order to request either ballot type, you must be registered to vote. Please visit Check Your Registration Status to review your registration information
