Jenkintown Borough has been notified by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that our 902-grant application has been chosen for award in the amount of $12,973.

Jenkintown Borough’s application requested funding for 300 lidded, wheeled, 35-gallon recycling toters. The Borough will be responsible for the 10% grant match in the amount of $1,442.

The JB Environmental Advisory Committee conducted a community wide survey and compiled a list of addresses that need another recycling toter. The survey revealed that some of the larger homes require more than one recycling toter. There were some that were damaged and need replaced and when new residents move into the Borough in most cases a recycling toter is requested by the new resident.

Jenkintown Borough, mainly through the Environmental Advisory Committee, has continued to educate residents about the benefits of recycling and there has been increased interest from the community. The disbursement of the recycle toters will be conducted by the Public Works Department. Recycling tonnage is tracked and utilized annually when preparing the PA DEP 904 grant application which is awarded through a formula based on total recycling tonnage collected within the Borough.
