November 2020 Editor –Penny Ruggieri TOWNSHIP OFFICE KEY CARD RENEWAL Key Card Number The mulch/recycling area key cards must be renewed yearly. Please do not throw your card away. The $5 fee is to renew or reactivate your current card. RECREATION DEPARTMENT We will start taking the $5 renewel fee (cash or check) on December 1, 2020. Any card that has not been renewed by January 11, 2021, will be deactivated, no matter what date they were acquired. It is not necessary to pay the renewal fee between December 1 and January 11. You can pay the $5 fee at any time after that and your card will be reactivated (unless deactivation was due to a violation of the rules). Just remember to do it before you need to use your card again. The only things required for renewal are the $5.00 fee (which can be paid at, or mailed to, the township office at 2501 East Third Street, Williamsport); the number on the key card (see photo above); and the address associated with the renewal. Make sure you include all of this information if you mail in your payment. After January 4, 2021, please allow a week to process your renewal if you are paying by mail. We would like to thank everyone for their cooperation with the security gate and key card program. The gate has helped keep out many people who were using the mulch pile area illegally, and has also cut down the amount of garbage being dumped.
