On September 11, we pause to remember the lives lost and the families forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001.

We honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, military members, and everyday Americans who stepped forward in the days and years that followed.

May we never forget the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the spirit of compassion, courage, and unity that brought communities together.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

♻️ Recycling Reminder: Keep Batteries Out of Your Recycling Bin!

As we work together to keep Bordentown clean and safe, please take a moment to check what you’re putting in your recycling container.

🔋 Lithium-ion batteries, rechargeable batteries, electronics, and other battery-powered devices should NEVER be placed in your recycling bin. These items can spark fires and pose a serious safety risk to collection crews, collection vehicles, and recycling facilities.

Before you toss it in the bin, check for a battery! When in doubt, keep it out and find the proper way to dispose of it.

♻️ Recycling right helps protect our community, our workers, and our environment.
