The Upper Moreland Parks and Rec Committee approved more trash cans to alleviate the littering and recycling issue in the township.
The Upper Moreland Parks and Rec Committee approved the purchase of two, double-barrel trash containers March 18 that will allow for regular trash disposal and recycling in the township. The township budgeted $5,000 that could have netted five single cans, but ultimately it was decided to buy two, double-barrel systems at $1,996 apiece ($200-plus for shipping). “We have a law that says we need to recycle,” Commissioner Kevin Spearing said. “There is trash all over the place downtown … I just want to get the trash off the street.” Commissioner Donald Warner questioned if the township could buy cheaper cans. “$4,600 for four cans?

For the Patch and Aol Give 5 Day, eight Patchers from Montgomery County volunteered and cleaned up nearly a ton of trash from the Cross County Trail.
What does it say about us as a people in this ecosystem when nearly a ton of trash is collected from either side of a two-mile trail? It says there’s a whole hell of a lot more to go. For the volunteer Give 5 program of Patch and Aol, seven local editors of Patch sites of Eastern Pennsylvania One-Regional One spent seven hours Thursday discarding trash from the Cross County Trail. In the end, we collected 34 bags of trash, each weighing about 50 pounds. That is 1,700 pounds—more than three-quarters of a ton—of trash. In seven hours. In just two miles. “I think it is really impressive that our company, Aol, gives us the work hours to do volunteering like this,” said Melissa Treacy, regional editor for Montgomery County Patch sites. “It is …
