SHENANDOAH – It’s that time of year again, time for regular street sweeping in local communities.
In Shenandoah, the borough’s street sweeper began its monthly routes last Wednesday, and the borough police department issued a notice to residents ahead of time.
“The Shenandoah Police wants to remind everyone to move their vehicles during the designated days and times for the street sweeper. All vehicles must be moved or tickets will be issued,” the department said in a statement.
The department added that a full street sweeping schedule is available at borough hall, which has been published at the end of this article.
In Mahanoy City, street sweeping was conducted this week, on Monday and Wednesday. Borough crews swept the north side of all east-west streets, and the west side of all north-south streets on Monday, and the opposite on Wednesday.
