Oxford School Board Adds Student Representative

By Marcella Peyre-Ferry

Seventeen-year-old Oxford Area High School (OAHS) senior Lauren Watkins has been appointed to the position of student representative for the Oxford Area School District school board. “I’m really excited to be here to do this,” she said at her first school board meeting on Aug. 21.

As student representative, Lauren will report to the board on student activities each month. She will attend meetings and may participate in discussion but will have no vote on the board and may not attend executive sessions of the board.

“I look at it as an opportunity to get even more involved in my community and represent my peers,” Lauren said.

Lauren, the daughter of Justin and Marie Watkins, has lived in Oxford all her life. She attended Bishop Shanahan High School in Downingtown before

transferring to OAHS for her junior year.

Lauren’s favorite subjects in school are math and science, and she has created a club at OAHS for students with similar interests.

“I started what’s called the Lab Club this past year. We had a guest speaker come in from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories Inc.,” she explained. “Kids just get a lot more lab time and get to experience research in science.”

Within math, geometry is Lauren’s favorite area, and she will be taking Advanced Placement (AP) statistics and AP calculus this school year.

Outside school, Lauren has been involved in church activities at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Oxford. “I’m very involved in my faith,” she said. “My dad is a deacon at Sacred Heart Parish, and I’m very involved at the parish. It’s something really important to me.”

Lauren is also interested in music.

AGIS Commits To Summer Reading

Atglen Community Day Will Include 5K

DISCUSSION GROUP

Faith Bible Chapel, 140 Bernard Ave., Cochranville, invites ladies from all denominations to a nine-week Bible study. The topic will be “Joseph.” The informal discussion group will meet from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays beginning on Sept. 12.

The church is located off Route 41 a quarter-mile south of Route 10 in Cochranville. For more details, readers may call Faith Bible Chapel at 610-5936333 and leave a message for Shirley.

More information about the church is available at www.fbchapel.org.

Inviting people to Atglen Community Day on Sept. 15 are (from left) committee chair Cristi Hahn; Atglen Parks and Recreation chair Sandy Hodorovich with her daughter, Madison; Atglen Library board president Lillian Thompson; games committee chair Tabitha Wallace with her children, Eleanor, Erin and Elam (top of slide); and car show participant Joe Toner with his 1940 Packard.

Avon Grove Intermediate School students shared some of their favorite books during a summer “Read In.” Reading did not take a summer break in the Avon Grove School District.

In May, the principals and teachers at Avon Grove Intermediate School (AGIS) made a commitment to encourage

summer reading for their students.

Each student was then asked to commit to reading at least three books at his or her independent reading level over the summer.

AGIS from pg 1 The commitment form was completed through the school’s Schoology network so that this year’s teachers could follow up with each student on his or her summer reading.

At the end of the 2018 school year, the literacy staff teamed up with a local bookstore to offer a variety of titles for students to browse and purchase for their summer reading.

During the summer, the principals made periodic phone calls to students to check in on their progress and to encourage continued reading.

In addition, the principals organized a summer “Read In.” AGIS students and

The children’s room of the Parkesburg Library is a fun place for young readers and sometimes for canine listeners, too.

On the third Tuesday of each month from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., the library hosts the Paws for Reading program. Four-yearold golden retriever Moose becomes the focus of the room. Accompanying Moose on his visits are owners Laura Valadakis and her 13-year-old daughter, Jane.

Laura makes a comfortable spot to sit on the library floor where she and Jane can sit with the children who come to read to the dog.

Children must preregister for each of the four quarter-hour time slots. Children of all ages and reading levels are welcome to bring a book of their own, select one

if there is a word they stumble on.”

Moose is happy to hear any type of book, from easy picture books to chapter books.

One of the youngsters participating at the Parkesburg Library on Aug. 21 was 9year-old Justin Fuchs. “It’s really, really good,” he said after reading a video game manual to Moose.

When they are done, the children are given a bookmark. If they read to the dog on five separate occasions, they receive a T-shirt for their efforts.

“I think it’s a really good program for kids to become more confident in their reading,” added Jane.

Laura first became aware of the program when her daughter was at A.I. duPont Hospital in Wilmington, Del., for surgery. “They have posters there, and they have the therapy dog program there for children in the hospital. I knew (Moose) had such a great disposition for doing this, which just prompted me to look into (Paws for People) and get him certified,” she said.

Moose and both of his handlers have been through training with Paws for People.

“He had to go through two orientation and training sessions and learn the commands,” Laura said. “He was certified to become a therapy dog in February of this year. We bring him to Coatesville Library, this library and the Friends Home in Kennett Square.”

Laura is happy to be a part of the program. “I love it. It’s very rewarding for both of us,” she said. “Jane enjoys doing it with me. It’s a nice thing for both of us to do together as a mother and daughter.”

To schedule a session with Moose at the Parkesburg Library, located at 105 West St., Parkesburg, readers may call 610-857-5165 or visit www.parkesburglibrary.org.

Laura reported that most of the children who participate range in age from 4 to 11. The youngest ones, who may not yet be able to read, are happy to point to pictures in books and make up a story of their own.

Each child signs Moose’s autograph book and then settles in to read out loud to the dog. Moose is a relaxing and friendly listener whose presence encourages children to make their best efforts at reading.

“I think it really helps them with their reading skills. They’re not at all intimidated reading to the dog,” Laura said. “They have a loving furry friend next to them as they are reading, and I think it helps them build their confidence and not be so intimidated

sometimes call this regression the “summer slide.” Students who experience the “summer slide” may take until November to regain their lost skills.

Rowan encourages parents to help continue future reading commitments at home. Some suggestions to promote reading at home are setting up a convenient daily time for reading and discussing with their child what he or she has read.

In addition, parents should have conversations with their children about new words they have encountered during their reading and the meanings of the new words. Children should be encouraged to use these new words in everyday conversations and add them to their vocabulary bank.

teachers were invited to come to school to read for an hour. Tents were set up outside, and students, teachers and even principals lounged on blankets, towels and chairs in the shade to read uninterrupted.

At the completion of the reading time, teachers led book chats with small groups of students. This fall, teachers will lead book clubs that feature instructional discussions on the students’ completed summer reading.

According to Nancy Rowan, Avon Grove School District reading specialist, research shows that students who do not continue their daily reading habit through the summer months lose much of the progress they made in the previous school year. Educators

objects great distances. Scottish clans and organizations will be represented, and vendors will sell Scottish goods, food, and locally made ice cream. A variety of demonstrations have been planned; these may include spinning and weaving, Irish dancing, a haggis ceremony, and more.

One of the confirmed demonstrations will be that of sheep herding. Rebecca Bellaman of Bainbridge will bring her Border collies Czechers and Ena to show how they move sheep through and around obstacles in a calm and controlled fashion. Bellaman has been working with collies since 1999 and obtained her first working dog in 2013.

She competes regularly with two of her three dogs. Czechers is 5 and has moved up to open-level trialing, while 1.5-year-old Ena is just making her debut into the sport.

According to the United States Border Collie Handlers’ Association (USBCHA), sanctioned stockdog trials are modeled directly after trials in Great Britain, where both the event and the breed originated. The object of a trial is to test the ability of a dog to manage sheep or goats in circumstances they may encounter in everyday work. The dogs

The Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation held its first Covenanter Scottish Festival four years ago. As time has passed, the event has grown to include a wide array of entertainment and educational opportunities, and this year’s festival promises to be no exception.

The fifth annual Covenanter Scottish Festival will be held on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the grounds of Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church, 1199 Valley Road, located 4 miles east of Quarryville on Route 372. The athletic events will begin at 8 a.m.

The Washington Memorial Pipe Band, Charlie Zahm and Tad Marks, Fire in the Glen, and harpist Kendrah Tozzo will perform throughout the day, and bagpipers will skirl their best for a panel of judges. There will also be a Highland dance competition, and the Penn’s Wall Highland Games will test athletes’ abilities to move cumbersome

may be asked to gather, drive, shed, single, or pen an individual or group of sheep. Handlers are expected to give their dogs few commands and to work their dogs quietly.

Bellaman and several of her friends will run a mock competition so that spectators may experience an arena sheepdog trial. They will also give a basic demonstration on the training of the collies. “Coming from an Irish family, I have always been into the Celtic and old-fashioned lifestyle, and working these dogs just gives me a bond with the animals you can only imagine,� Bellaman remarked.

A schedule of the day’s events is posted at www.oldcovchurch.com/scottish-festival -2018. Folks may purchase discounted tickets through the site, or they may buy fullprice tickets at the festival. Children age 12 and under will be admitted free of charge.

Parking will be free of charge and located at

the church. Handicapped-accessible parking will be available. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating, and wearing sunscreen is advised, as shade may be limited.

There are still opportunities for vendors, competitors, and volunteers. Anyone wishing to participate may find the appropriate application on the event website.

Community Day from pg 1 working together to host the sixth annual Atglen Community Day and Car Show, which will be held rain or shine.

The new Covered Bridge Fun Run/Walk, hosted by the Atglen Parks and Recreation Committee, will be the first event on the day’s schedule, starting at 8:30 a.m. Registration will be held at the Penningtonville Presbyterian Church parking lot, 406 Main St., Atglen, beginning at 8 a.m. Participants are asked to bring a canned food item for donation to the Octorara Food Cupboard. No pets will be permitted on the run/walk.

“We thought it would be a really good way to kick off Community Day,” said Sandy Hodorovich, Atglen Parks and

Recreation chair. “Once it’s over you can go up to Community Day and take part in everything Community Day has to offer.”

Community Day will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Atglen Community Park, located at Ridge Avenue and Main Street. The day will include craft vendors, live music and more. A bloodmobile will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for those who wish to donate blood. Featured food will include barbecue chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries and ice cream. For the youngsters, a wristband purchase will allow

them to enjoy games, crafts, face painting, moon bounces and other activities.

There will be a live auction starting at 2 p.m. featuring items donated by local businesses and community members.

Performances on stage will include an opening ceremony featuring the Octorara Area High School band and local Boy Scouts, as well as live music by Matt Holub, a Mad Science show, a Steel City Gymnastics performance and Bob’s Critter Show.

Due to the popularity of the escape room hosted by the Atglen Public Library at the Di-Atglen Alley Wizard Faire in July, it will be set up again for Community Day in the Penningtonville Presbyterian

Church Christian Education Building. Preregistration is not required.

“The escape room at the Wizard Faire sold out, and there were many more people who were interested in it, so the library decided to bring it to Community Day as an additional attraction,” said library board president Lillian Thompson.

The Penningtonville Presbyterian Church deacons will host an Apple Festival during Community Day, as well. Activities will include an apple pie slice eating contest, applesauce making, a pie baking contest and apple-themed baked goods to purchase.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. there will be a

car show along Ridge Avenue. Joe Toner, an Atglen resident, will be there with his 1940 Packard. “This car will be in the show along with many other cars - classic, antique and street rods,” Toner said.

Car owners may preregister for the show by calling the Atglen Public Library at 610-593-6848. Same-day registrations will also be welcome. Dash plaques and goodie bags will be given to the first 25 paid registrations, plus there will be door prizes throughout the day and People’s Choice awards to the first- and secondplace finishers decided by visitors’ votes.

“This year, our trophies are being handmade,” Thompson said. “A local per-

September 5, 2018 - 5

son contacted us to make the trophies out of old car parts; they are works of art.”

The car show will benefit the library, while proceeds from the other Community Day activities will go to the Penningtonville Presbyterian’s community outreach program. Among the organizations the program supports are the Parkesburg Point, Octorara Food Cupboard, Christiana Ambulance Company and Christiana Fire Company.

For more information, readers may visit www.atglen.org or www.facebook .com/atglencommunityday. Vendors interested in taking part in the event may call Maureen Fox at 484-467-1430.

Protecting Against Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide, also known as CO, is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. Because carbon monoxide is found in the fumes produced when fuel is burned, it is present in and around homes. As a result, homeowners should be aware of carbon monoxide and make every effort to detect its presence.

CO is a byproduct of vehicle exhaust, boat engines, stoves, lanterns, grills, furnaces, and fireplaces. CO is produced anytime something is burning. That is why it is essential that products designed to be used outdoors are used exclusively outside and that indoor appliances are properly vented to the outdoors.

CO forms most readily when

there is insufficient oxygen to complete combustion and produce carbon dioxide. Hot water closets, furnaces in crawlspaces, heating appliances in attics, and other contained areas are common areas where CO can form.

CO can build up indoors and poison the people and pets breathing it in. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thousands of people visit emergency rooms and are hospitalized because of CO poisoning every year. While CO is a risk for just about anyone, infants, the elderly, those with breathing problems or chronic heart disease, and people with anemia are most likely to get sick from CO. CO has earned the moniker “the

silent killer” because it cannot be identified without the presence of a carbon monoxide detector. If a person believes he or she is smelling carbon monoxide, that person is probably mistaking the odor for other combustion byproducts that the human nose can sense.

Some people may not recognize that CO is affecting a home until multiple residents start complaining of similar symptoms. Common CO poisoning symptoms include nausea and vomiting, dizziness, chest pain, confusion, headache, and other flu-like symptoms. Those with repeated exposure to high levels of CO may eventually develop cerebral edema, which is a swelling of the brain. CO can compress brain cells and destroy them, lead-

ing to neurological issues and death. CO poisoning is actually the result of the head and heart not receiving sufficient oxygen.

CO detectors can save lives and should be installed in all homes and apartments. The National Fire Protection Association says CO detectors “shall be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.” Individuals should follow the manufacturer instructions regarding where on the wall or ceiling the CO detectors should be mounted. As an added safety precaution, CO detectors should be placed on every floor of the home.

Gas sensors in CO alarms have limited life spans, so they should be replaced generally every five to six years, because calibrating and testing for CO is more difficult than simply replacing the alarms.

One of the first steps in choosing window treatments is determining the end goal. Is privacy the main goal? Are homeowners seeking more natural light in a room? Is there too much light and a need to darken the room?

Window treatments can serve multiple functions, and some treatments may fit better depending on homeowners’ ultimate goals.

They are usually appropriate for spaces where people gather, such as living rooms, dens, or dining rooms. Semisheer curtains may be paired with another complementary window treatment so privacy can be customized as needed. For example, sheer curtains let light into a bedroom, but shades can be drawn at night.

cost of light, that is not always the case. Functional curtain panels can be drawn closed when privacy is desired and then opened to let in light. The thickness of the fabric will also dictate the amount of privacy the panels create. Tiers are hung on a short rod-pocket panel and usually cover the lower onethird of a window. They are popular choices to let light in from the top, while obscuring views from the bottom portion of the window. Cellular shades are another option that provide privacy but still let light in. Cellular shades come in hard and fabric varieties, and their use depends on the room. Many cellular shades are constructed with a honeycomb design, offers the design resource Houzz, so they can insulate as well as decorate windows.

Blackout shades/shutters These shades do just what their name implies, making them perfect for rooms where babies nap or shift workers rest during daylight hours or for rooms that may not be dark enough at nighttime due to external light sources, such as street lamps. A dense fabric lining helps keep light out entirely. Shutters also can block out light but add to the character of the room. They can be painted a bright color to make a statement or match wall colors to blend in seamlessly.

When selecting window treatments, shoppers can choose retail options or custom treatments. Many designers recommend custom window treatments because they are measured, manufactured, and installed specifically for homeowners’ windows. However, there are many DIY options available at budget-friendly retailers.

Get Ready for The Fall Fix For A Healthy Lawn And Garden

How to Banish the Fluffy about selling their homes, pet odors must be addressed. Even and Fido Funk though it will take effort, home-

Remove spent summer veggies.

Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler-weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas.

R a k e a n d c o m p o s t . Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile.

Plant spring bulbs. Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they will burst with color next year.

Dig up herbs. Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens.

Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter.

Consider mums. Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained, and winterized, they can bloom every fall.

Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter.

Add mulch and compost to the garden. Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting.

Prune hedges. Tidy hedges, as they will not grow much more this year.

The Lowdown On Winter Lawn Care Winter weather can be harsh.

Homeowners who spend much of the year tending to their lawns and gardens may worry that winter will undo all of their hard work. Though homeowners cannot do anything to prevent snow, wind, and ice from affecting their properties, they can take various steps to prepare their lawns and gardens for whatever winter has in store. · Mulch leaves. Falling leaves are a telltale sign that winter is coming. In lieu of raking leaves as they begin to fall, homeowners can mulch them into their lawns.

Mulching leaves is a great way for homeowners to recycle a natural resource and enrich the soil of their lawns. While it might not be possible to mulch fallen leaves in late autumn when they begin to fall en masse, doing so in the early We Deliver

WE HAVE SCREENED TOPSOIL for your fall lawn renovation projects

stages of fall should be possible so long as the lawn is not being suffocated. Experts recommend mulching the leaves to dime-size pieces to a point where half an inch of grass can be seen through the mulched leaf layer. · Rake leaves as they start to fall more heavily. Once leaves begin to fall more heavily, rake them up and add them to compost piles. The resource GardeningKnowHow.com notes that composting leaves creates a dark, rich, and organic matter that can add nutrients to garden soil and loosen compacted earth. Allowing leaves to remain on the lawn once they start to fall in great numbers makes it hard for grass blades to breathe, and the leaves can block moisture from reaching the soil, which needs water to help plants maintain strong

roots. In addition, potentially harmful pathogens can breed on damp leaves left on a lawn, and such bacteria can cause significant damage to the turf over time. · Apply a winterizing fertilizer.

Winterizing fertilizers can help lawns store the food they need to survive through winter and also can help them bounce back strong in spring. Such fertilizers are typically formulated for cool-season grasses such as fescue and bluegrass and are often best applied after the final cut of fall. Warm-season grasses go dormant in winter, so homeowners whose lawns contain these types of grasses will not want to apply a winterizing fertilizer. Homeowners who do not know which type of grass they have or are concerned about when to apply a winterizing fertilizer should consult

va, and dander can cause these fabrics to become stinky, and, in turn, make the house smell worse. · K e e p p e t s c l e a n . Most pets are very good at self-grooming, but they can still benefit from a spa treatment once in a while.

Dogs that spend ample time outdoors or frequently get wet and dirty may need routine baths.

Ask a professional groomer what he or she recommends to address potent pet odors. with a lawn care professional before fertilizing. · Remove annuals from the garden. Annuals will not be coming back in spring, so it is best to remove ones that are no longer producing from the garden before the arrival of winter. Doing so can prevent the onset of fungal diseases that may adversely affect the garden in spring.

Dogs, cats, birds, and lizards, which once were wild animals and outdoor companions, have become beloved, largely domesticated members of the family.

The number of pets in homes across the country continues to grow. According to Statista, as of March 2017, 94.2 million cats and 89.7 million dogs were estimated to live in the United States as pets.

Over time, pet owners grow accustomed to their pets’ antics, messes, and even odors. Dealing with smells is par for the course for pet owners, and many become desensitized to certain common smells. But when company is on the way or people are thinking

Puppies and even adult dogs may have their share of accidents.

Cats may avoid litter boxes that are not cleaned frequently and may then soil around the house. Be sure to clean up pet waste messes promptly. Baking soda and vinegar solutions are all-natural ways to clean up and can help remove urine odors more readily. Also, look for safe deodorizing cleaning products that can be used on carpeting, flooring, and upholstery. · Purchase an air purifier. Air purifiers can help remove odors and allergens from the air. They are relatively inexpensive and can be placed in rooms that pets frequent. · Wash pet blankets and beds.

Autumn is gardening season.

That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees, and garden beds will over-winter successfully.

A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, since leaves have not all fallen, fall is a prime time to assess what is already in the landscape, what needs pruning back, and where to address planting for next year.

Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall: Pamper perennials. As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for the next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over.

Prune shrubs. Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood.

Clean up borders. Weed and tidy borders and lawn edging.

Install pavers or rock wall.

Golden Spike Ramble Posted Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on the Golden Spike Ramble to Utah from Wednesday, May 8, through Sunday, May 12, 2019.

Travelers will witness an exciting re-creation of the historic “wedding of the rails,” with the fully functional replica steam locomotives Jupiter and No. 119 during this occasion held at Promontory Summit.

The rugged and beautiful scenery of the Rocky Mountains provides the setting for this customized trip. Golden Spike Ramble highlights include rides on the Heber Valley Historic Railroad, the Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort’s aerial tram and the Front Runner high speed commuter train, as well as visits to the Natural History Museum, Antelope State Park, the Great Salt Lake, Hill Air Force Base’s Aerospace Museum, the Family History

Library genealogical research facility, Ogden Union Station, the Utah State Railroad Museum, and the Golden Spike National Historic Site. A tour of Salt Lake City’s most famous sites, time to explore the destination resort town of Park City, and a performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will also be featured.

The cost of the trip includes roundtrip airfare from the Newark International Airport to Salt Lake City, four nights hotel accommodations, six meals, and a local tour guide. There is a discount for current Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania members. The deadline for registration is Saturday, Dec. 1.

The Golden Spike Ramble brochure and registration are available at www.rrmuseumpa.org.

YOUR ATTENTION

Concussion News Posted With many student athletes gearing up for fall sports practice, students, parents, and coaches are reminded about ways to prevent, recognize and manage concussions.

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or from a fall or blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth.

Concussions can have serious short-term and long-term impacts, especially on young people whose brains are still developing. In 2011, the Safety in Youth Sports Act was signed into law in Pennsylvania, requiring all school entities to devel-

op return-to-play policies for student athletes with concussions, as well as requiring related training for coaches.

Readers may visit www.health .pa.gov and search for Traumatic Brain Injury for approved curricula for coaches and other school personnel, along with frequently asked questions about the law and many other state-related resources. Most importantly, if parents think their child has a concussion, they should seek medical attention, discuss the injury with the coach, and not allow the athlete to return to play without permission from a health care professional.

General Assembly, received the award for continued commitment to the improvement of county government by assisting CCAP and its members while maintaining the highest ethical and moral standards. Most recently, her applied research into county property assessment practices and her participation on the Local Government Commission’s Assessment Reform Task Force led to development of comprehensive reports, legislation and practice documents for counties.

CCAP’s 2018 Excellence in Website Design Awards were given to Bedford County and Chester County.

Both counties’ recent website enhancements led to accessible, modern designs, with increased functionality, highlights of county services and greater transparency to improve residents’ interactions with county government.

President’s Awards were bestowed

by CCAP president and Lancaster County commissioner Dennis Stuckey to CCAP leaders Doug Hill, executive director; Brinda Penyak, deputy director; and John Sallade, managing director of insurance programs. The award was presented to honor commitment to CCAP’s president and outstanding contributions leading to enhanced service to county residents.

CCAP members include county commissioners, council members, county executives, administrators, chief clerks and solicitors.

The Chester County Solid Waste Authority (SWA) reminds local residents of the “When in doubt, throw it out” message that applies to recyclable materials and curbside collection programs.

According to the SWA, overzealous recyclers may contaminate recyclables with trash, which ruins the ability to market the materials. Properly prepared and collected recyclables are valued commodities sold on the global market. However, when too many nonrecyclables are mixed in with the recyclable material, it all becomes trash because it is too costly to separate and requires disposal at a landfill. This results in more money being spent on collecting, transportating, and processing material that was not worth collecting in the first place.

Material such as hangers, scrap metal, pieces of rope or hose, pieces of wood, yard waste, and children’s toys are just a few of the items that contaminate recyclables. Scrap metal may be taken to a scrap dealer, yard waste should be composted, and children’s toys may be donated or thrown away if they are broken. These items, along with Styrofoam, polystyrene, and other foam materials, should not be placed in recycling bins.

In addition, plastic bags present a problem because they are not recyclable in most curbside programs. The bags jam the source separating equipment at recycling facilities. Therefore, plastic shopping bags should be returned to a local grocery store, where recycling containers for the bags are typically located at the entrance of the store.

Most curbside recycling programs in Chester County collect mixed paper, flattened corrugated cardboard cut down to 18 by 24 inches, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and containers with recycling numbers of 1 through 5, as well as 7. SWA programs also collect clean aluminum foil, pie tins, and empty steel aerosol cans. Only plastic containers and bottles with recycling symbols can be recycled. If there is no recycling symbol, it should be thrown away.

For more information, readers may contact their local hauler or municipal recycling coordinator or visit www.chestercountyswa.org.
