We anticipate both Township drop-off sites will continue to be open on alternating weeks for the remainder of the 2020 Season.

HOURS are Monday thru Friday from 8am-2pm and Saturday from 8am-1pm.

The FRANKO Drop-off will be open the weeks of October 5 & 19 and November 2, 16 & 30.

The DEVONSHIRE Drop-off will be open the weeks of October 12 & 26, November 9 (closed November 11 in observance of the Veteran’s Day holiday) & 23 (closed November 26 & 27 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday), and December 7.

December 12 will be the last operating day for the 2020 Season. We’ll keep you posted on the revised schedule planned for 2021.

Residents will have to show proof of Township residency (their most recent utility bill would be optimal) and addresses will be logged. Only 3 cars will be allowed on-site at any given time; only when one car leaves another will be allowed in. As usual, the sites are open for residential use only; no landscapers or non-residential use will be allowed. All materials will be checked to ensure that they’re clean and not contaminated with other waste. Contaminated materials will not be allowed to be disposed of at the site.

In order to maintain appropriate social distancing, there will be no physical interaction between Township staff and the public. Residents must be able to unload materials and empty containers themselves. Residents must take all bags and containers utilized for the transportation of materials with them when they leave the drop-off site. Masks will be required to be worn to enter the site.

Please see the Township’s Coronavirus Statement for full details on all modifications.

Lehigh County residents now have access to five drop boxes for their mail-in ballots.

Allentown, PA- Drop boxes for mail-in ballots will be available for residents at five select municipal buildings in Lehigh County. Last Thursday, September 17th, 2020, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled that drop boxes will be allowed for the upcoming 2020 General Election. As a result, the Lehigh County Election Board finalized that five boxes will be available at the following locations.

Voters can find them at the following district locations:

Ballots can be dropped off at these locations instead of by mail or by handing them to a Voter Registration Office employee. Each drop box location will be monitored via electronic surveillance and by the presence of a municipal poll worker.

All ballots must be enclosed in the security mailing envelope before being sealed in the mailing envelope. Any ballots that fail to do this will not be counted.
