Recycling Berwick In November 2014, the Borough of Berwick moved to Single Stream Recycling. Under the single-stream recycling system, all recyclables go into a single bin. At the recycling plant, recyclables are loaded onto a conveyer belt and pushed off in response to certain stimuli: magnets lift iron-based metals from the belt; puffs of air blow paper from the line, and so on. This means no more separating recyclables.

Acceptable items include newspaper and inserts, magazines and catalogs, junk mail, envelopes, file folders, shredded paper, office white and colored computer paper (staples and paper clips OK), corrugated cardboard boxes, cereal and gift boxes (remove liners), paper bags, phone books, books, aluminum cans (soda and beer), aluminum foil and foil plates, glass bottles and jars (food and drink only), #1 through #7 plastic containers, metal food cans and lids (tin and steel), metal pots and pans, empty aerosol cans and milksoup-juice-broth-wine-cream-egg substitute cartons. Please empty and clean containers and do not put into bags.

For more information, call the recycling coordinator, Curt Rider, at 570-752-2723, ext.

27, or visit www.berwickborough.org.

Oct. 15-Nov. 21.

Note: The Town of Bloomsburg operates a compost site at the corner of Sands and 11th streets. Access Sands Street from Fort McClure Boulevard.

The Berwick Industrial Development Association, Inc. (BIDA) has been an active participant in the economic and community endeavors of the Greater Berwick Area since its inccorporation in 1958.

Acquisition of the former ACF Complex in Berwick in 1962, and the subsequent attraction of nearly 20 businesses to a site that formerly housed a single industry signaled BIDA’s major entre into the economic development sphere.

Since that time, this private, non profit industrial development corporation has been the prime local entity in efforts to retain and attract employers both in, and beyond the boundaries of the Greater Berwick Area.

Among some of its major successes have been the relocation or expansion of major firms including Dollar Tree Stores Inc.’s Northeastern United States’ Distribution Warehouse, Mickey Truck Bodies Inc’s, Western International Gas and Cylinder’s , Modular Steel Systems, Inc., Ultra Poly Corporation, Care First Pharmacy, Ingredion, Acurlite Structural Skylights, Inc ., Castek, Inc., Leggett & Platt, Inc., Montgomery Laboratories, RAD Manufacturing, David J. Thompson Mailing Corporation, and Deluxe Building

Solutions, LLC. The Organization also played an integral role in assisting in the acquisition by Sekisui of the former R.R. Donnelly facility.

BIDA has continued to fulfill its civic obligations via its involvement in contributing funds, staff time, or at times, a combination of both to the Stuart Tank Memorial Association, Inc., Berwick: The Next Step, Luzerne County Community College’s Berwick Satellite Facility, Penn’s Northeast, the Commonwealth’s Partnership For Regional Economic Performance (PREP), the Berwick Area School District’s Local Advisory Committee, and the Columba Montour Area Vocational Technical School’s Perkins Participatory Planning Committee.

BIDA’s commitment to assist in the expanding the entire Area’s economic base was the predicating factor in its formation of an alliance with Rural Business Innovation (RBI).

This venture has enabled BIDA to expand its service into nine surrounding counties, and utilize the experience and expertise of another committed economic development related partner to aid existing and potential job generators in their expansion efforts.
