A Message from Mayor Susan Shin Angulo |
|
Dear Neighbor:
The peaceful transfer of power is a pillar of our democracy. The attack on the U.S. Capitol Building, and the people inside, was shameful and shook us to the very core of what unites us as Americans. There is no place for violence in our society. An effective democracy is one where citizens resolve differences in a civil and respectful manner.
Over the past year in Cherry Hill, we walked side by side in solidarity with residents in peaceful protest. Our goals have always been and must remain to build a better world—not tear it down. As your Mayor, I took an oath to uphold the values we share as Americans, and work each and every day toward an even more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous Cherry Hill for all members of our community. Today I pledge to continue to work and do my part to uphold the principles of our great nation.
I wish you all health and peace this year.
Please continue to stay safe.
Sincerely,
|

Holiday Clean Up Reminders |
|
|
|
As you clean up from your holiday festivities, remember that a number of items can be recycled either curbside in your big blue bin, or by dropping them off at the Department of Public Works located at 1 Perina Boulevard.
-
Christmas trees can be recycled curbside as part of your weekly yard-waste pickup, or taken to the designated tree-drop location that is set up in the Public Works yard at 1 Perina Boulevard. Remember: Trees with tinsel/lights, and those that are wrapped in plastic bags will not be collected curbside. Artificial Christmas trees are considered bulk and are to be placed near the green bin- not inside of them.
- Old electronics and broken/unused Christmas lights are considered e-waste, and can't be recycled at the curb or in your blue bin. However, they can be dropped off at the e-waste shed in the Public Works yard.
- Cardboard, wrapping paper, and cards can be recycled in your big blue recycling bin on your regular trash day. But anything with glitter or foil belongs in the trash! Generally, the fancier the wrapping paper, the less recyclable it is. Cardboard must be broken down and placed in your bin. Excess cardboard can be dropped off in two designated dumpsters to the rear of the Public Works yard.
These are just a few of the common holiday items that can be recycled in Cherry Hill. For more information, contact the Department of Public Works at (856) 424-4422.
