West Pittston Hometown Heroes!

West Pittston Tomorrow is launching the Hometown Heroes Banner Program in the Garden Village. The program will honor and recognize residents and their family members who have served, or are serving, in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The initial cost per banner is $200 for the production, installation and removal of the banner. Annual renewal fee will be $25. The banner is a heavy-duty vinyl 30” wide by 60” tall (sample shown at left).

West Pittston Tomorrow hopes to display them for three years. After that the banners will evaluated for environmental damage. Wear and tear are the responsibility of the owners. Torn or damaged banners will be returned to the family.

They will be erected before Memorial Day and taken down in November, when they will be stored for the next year. Placement is not guaranteed.

If you would like to sponsor a banner, please fill out this application. 

Any questions about the program, please email us at westpittstontomorrow@gmail.com

Keep West Pittston Clean

Thank you! Mayor Angelo Alfano

For the new trash cans in our parks and your efforts to keep the Garden Village looking sharp!

Public Works Notices

The recycling containers located at the Public Works Building on Delaware Avenue, will be locked and closed to the public every day, except Saturday mornings. The only time that residents may drop off recyclable items at the Public Works Department Building will be Saturday mornings, from 8AM until 12PM. This does not affect the Public Works Departments curb-side pickup of recyclable items. West Pittston Borough recycling bins are for the use of West Pittston residents only. The Public Works Department Building is monitored by cameras and anyone found leaving trash, large bulk items, such as lawn furniture, or any other non-recyclable items, will be in violation of West Pittston Borough Code.

Curbside collection of recyclables is every Wednesday and Thursday. The Public Works Department asks that residents place their recyclables in front of their homes the night prior to your scheduled recycling collection day. Placing the recyclables out in front of your home early will prevent the Public Works Department from missing the collection of your recyclables on that day.
