They barely had a day off in two months!Electronics RecyclingHard to Recycle EventsAs of January 1, 2013, Pennsylvania banned the disposal of computers, TV’s,and other electronic devices in the regular garbage. The reason for the “e-waste”ban in regular garbage is because these devices leak harmful metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury into the waste stream. These items must be properlydisposed of by facilities that can remove the toxic metals.There are several sites near Edgewood that will accept e-waste. Additionally,there are “Hard to Recycle” events scheduled around Allegheny County overthe next year that will collect these devices for small fees. Here is a list of youroptions for e-waste disposal.The Pennsylvania Resources Council sponsors Hard to Recycle collection events throughout the year.

It isthat time of year when we all like toopen our doors and windows and letthe fresh air in.Unfortunately, this is the time ofyear when the crime picks up and thecriminals become more active. During the winter months, police callsseem to slow down, as criminals donot appear to like the cold. Now thatit is getting warmer, the criminalswill be walking around, looking forcrimes of opportunity. These crimesinclude, but are not limited to, lookingfor open windows/doors in homes tocommit burglaries. It seems that manyof us feel a false sense of security, andleave a window open while we go towork, school, or just out to run someerrands. This oversight can make youthe victim of a crime.Studies have shown that burglarschoose the path of least resistance. Inmany cases, burglaries take place during daylight hours. A burglar may walkright up to your front door and ringthe doorbell and knock. If there is noresponse, there is a good chance thatno one is home. The burglar will thendo a quick walk around your house tosee if he/she can see any easy way intoyour home, including open windows/doors. If you are one of those peoplewho didn’t think that leaving yourwindow open was a big deal.you arenow the victim of a burglary.We suggest never leaving yourwindows and doors open while youare away; however, we understandthat it will be done. If you do plan onPolice Activity2013-14opening your windows, a good practice is to open windows that can notbe accessed from the ground.Officers also would like to remindresidents to keep their doors lockedwhile they are home. Some criminalsdo not care whether or not you arehome. If they see something in plainsight close to the door, they will simply open the door and grab it.Officers always remind everyone tobe vigilant and to report any suspiciousactivity around your home and neighborhood. If you question whether youshould call the police you should!!!That is what we are here for.STREET SWEEPINGWith the signs of spring also comesthe resumption of street sweepingaround the borough. Street sweepingwill return on Wednesdays in April.Check the signs where you park toensure that you are parking on theproper side of the street to avoid anyunwanted fines.NEW POLICE CARBy the time this article comes out, theEdgewood Police will have anotherDodge Charger on the road. TheEdgewood Police are changing overto the Chargers, because Ford Motors stopped producing Crown Victorias. This newest purchase will be thesecond Charger in our fleet, leavingus with only one Ford police car left.Most of the officers prefer the newDodge over the old Fords. The newChargers are more comfortable, morepowerful, and seem to be holding upbetter than the Fords. It may seem likejust a car to most, but it’s our office for24 hours a day, 7 days a week!Dec.

This 9.3 million project will position WPSD to continue to meetthe evolving needs of its students and their families for many years to come.The former dorm, built in the 1960’s, was originally designed to be classrooms and was later converted into a living space. With the many upgradesneeded to keep the building viable, it became apparent that the responsible pathwas to demolish the dorm and build a new Residence. The building was torndown in April of 2013 to allow for the new construction.The new Residence is scheduled for completion in August of 2014 and willhave six living suites, each with its own kitchen and living/study areas alongwith bedrooms and a bathroom, to foster a family atmosphere. Boys and girlswill reside on separate floors, but will share a great room for social activities andmeetings. Features such as a modern information technology network, as wellas a geo-thermal heating and cooling system, will establish WPSD in the community as a standard-bearer for student-centered construction and energy–efficient design.If you would like additional information or would like to make a taxdeductible donation to the new Residence, please contact Matt Campion atmcampion@wpsd.org.9
