2021 Wilkes-Barre City Calendar Mayor George C. Brown A Message from Mayor George C. Brown For all of the wrong reasons, 2020 was a year that we will never forget. The pandemic raged in our community, routine rhythms of daily life were disrupted, and lives were lost and families irreparably scarred. Yet, I still found cause for hope. Even amidst the gloomiest days of 2020, I still saw progress achieved. Our city mourned but we did not despair. Our city stumbled but we did not fall. Our city struggled but we overcame. I am well aware of the challenges that Wilkes-Barre faces. No doubt difficult decisions loom; however, I am as confident as ever that there is nothing that we cannot achieve together. As a people, we have always stood for a few basic principles. Progress through sacrifice. Progress through resilience. Progress through compassion. We have always rejected the politics of expedience. We have always rejected the politics of self-interest. We have always rejected the politics of opportunism. Last year, we made difficult but necessary decisions to restore confidence in city government and solidify city finances. We also revived dormant commercial and residential development projects that are vital to the future of the city. We must continue to invest in ourselves if we expect Wilkes-Barre to thrive in the coming years. In this calendar you will find changes to accepted recyclable items and changes to collection schedules. The global recycling industry has changed significantly in the past few years. We must do our part to properly recycle, both for the health of the environment and for the financial savings that proper recycling provides. Let us continue the work that we have begun. I hope that 2021 will bestow nothing but blessings upon you, your family, and your friends. The annual city calendar is a valuable tool which provides Wilkes-Barre’s residents with information about: Garbage, Recycling and Yard Waste Collection Schedules; Holidays and Special Events; City Hall Phone Directory and more. The calendar is also available on the city’s website at www.wilkes-barre.city. As with any calendar, curbside collection schedules and events are subject to change due to weather and/or available personnel. tŝůŬĞƐͲĂƌƌĞŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝů WůĞĂƐĞǀŝƐŝƚǁǁǁ͘ǁŝůŬĞƐͲďĂƌƌĞ͘ĐŝƚLJͬĐŝƚLJĐŽƵŶĐŝů ĨŽƌŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůDĞĞƚŝŶŐ^ĐŚĞĚƵůĞƐ͕ŐĞŶĚĂƐ͕ĂŶĚDŝŶƵƚĞƐ͘ ŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůŚĂŝƌ ŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůsŝĐĞŚĂŝƌ ŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůŵĂŶ ŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůŵĂŶ ŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůŵĂŶ dŽŶLJƌŽŽŬƐͲŝƐƚƌŝĐƚ ĞƚŚ'ŝůďĞƌƚDĐƌŝĚĞͲŝƐƚƌŝĐƚ DŝŬĞĞůƵƐŬŽͲŝƐƚƌŝĐƚ ŝůůĂƌƌĞƚƚͲŝƐƚƌŝĐƚ :ŽŚŶDĂƌĐŽŶŝͲŝƐƚƌŝĐƚ ƚďƌŽŽŬƐΛǁŝůŬĞƐͲďĂƌƌĞ͘ƉĂ͘ƵƐ ďŐŝůďĞƌƚΛǁŝůŬĞƐͲďĂƌƌĞ͘ƉĂ͘ƵƐ ŵďĞůƵƐŬŽΛǁŝůŬĞƐͲďĂƌƌĞ͘ƉĂ͘ƵƐ ǁďĂƌƌĞƚƚΛǁŝůŬĞƐͲďĂƌƌĞ͘ƉĂ͘ƵƐ ũŵĂƌĐŽŶŝΛǁŝůŬĞƐͲďĂƌƌĞ͘ƉĂ͘ƵƐ ϱϳϬ͘ϳϵϯ͘ϯϲϯϭ ϱϳϬ͘ϲϬϲ͘ϵϱϳϱ ϱϳϬ͘ϴϮϬ͘ϳϬϲϬ ϱϳϬ͘ϳϬϲ͘ϲϭϬϱ ϱϳϬ͘ϱϭϬ͘ϴϳϴϱ ŝƚLJůĞƌŬ͛ƐKĨĨŝĐĞ ŝƚLJŽŶƚƌŽůůĞƌ͛ƐKĨĨŝĐĞ ϰƚŚ &ůŽŽƌ͕ŝƚLJ,Ăůů͕ ŝƚLJůĞƌŬ ϮŶĚ &ůŽŽƌ͕ŝƚLJ,Ăůů ϰϬĂƐƚDĂƌŬĞƚ^ƚƌĞĞƚ ĂŶĚ ϰϬĂƐƚDĂƌŬĞƚ^ƚƌĞĞƚ tŝůŬĞƐͲĂƌƌĞ͕Wϭϴϳϭϭ tŝůŬĞƐͲĂƌƌĞ͕Wϭϴϳϭϭ WŚŽŶĞ͗ϱϳϬ͘ϮϬϴ͘ϰϭϭϳ ŝƚLJŽŶƚƌŽůůĞƌ WŚŽŶĞϱϳϬ͘ϮϬϴ͘ϰϭϰϮ &Ădž͗ϱϳϬ͘ϮϬϴ͘ϰϭϳϭ WŚŽƚŽĐƌĞĚŝƚ͗͘^ĂůŽŶŝĐŬ &Ădž͗ϱϳϬ͘ϮϬϴ͘ϰϭϭϱ ŝƚLJůĞƌŬ:ŝŵZLJĂŶ ŝƚLJŽŶƚƌŽůůĞƌĂƌƌĞŶ^ŶLJĚĞƌ EĞŝŐŚďŽƌŚŽŽĚZĞƐŝĚĞŶƚƐ͛ƐƐŽĐŝĂƚŝŽŶƐ ŝƐĐůĂŝŵĞƌ͗dŚĞEĞŝŐŚďŽƌŚŽŽĚZĞƐŝĚĞŶƚƐ͛ƐƐŽĐŝĂƚŝŽŶƐĂƌĞŝŶĚĞƉĞŶĚĞŶƚŽƌŐĂŶŝnjĂƚŝŽŶƐ͕ƚŚĞƌĞĨŽƌĞƚŚĞĐŽŶƚĞŶƚĚŝƐƉůĂLJĞĚŽŶƚŚĞŝƌǁĞďƐŝƚĞƐĚŽŶŽƚŶĞĐĞƐƐĂƌŝůLJƌĞƉƌĞƐĞŶƚƚŚĞǀŝĞǁƐŽĨŝƚLJŽĨtŝůŬĞƐͲĂƌƌĞ͘ŽŶƚĂĐƚŝŶĨŽƌŵĂƚŝŽŶĂƌĞƉƌŽǀŝĚĞĚĂƐĂĐŽƵƌƚĞƐLJ͘ 'RZQWRZQ +HLJKWV0D\IORZHU 5ROOLQJ0LOO+LOO 6RXWK:LONHV%DUUH 5HVLGHQWV¶$VVRFLDWLRQ 5HVLGHQWV $VVRFLDWLRQ 5HVLGHQWV $VVRFLDWLRQ 5HVLGHQWV $VVRFLDWLRQ ZZZIDFHERRNFRP:%'5$ ZZZIDFHERRNFRP+HLJKWV0D\IORZHU5$ ZZZIDFHERRNFRP5ROOLQJ0LOO+LOO5HVLGHQWV$VVRFLDWLRQ ZZZIDFHERRNFRP6:%UHVLGHQWVDVVRFLDWLRQ For City Council Meeting Schedules, Agendas, and Minutes for MAY-DECEMBER, please visit www.wilkes-barre.city/citycouncil.
