Chester Township's DPW will be conducting its annual curbside tree collection THIS WEEK, from January 16-19. If you wish to have your tree picked up, place it curbside, and make sure the tree has been cleared of all tinsel and ornaments.
With snow expected tomorrow, we ask for your patience as the DPW has several new employees, and salting and snow plowing will take longer than residents have experienced in the past. Thank you for your understanding.
Town Hall will be closing at 2:30 on Friday, December 29. Offices will reopen on Tuesday, January 2 during regular business hours. Happy New Year to all!
