upcoming events

North Coventry to give residents free compost barrels.

 
The North Coventry Environmental Advisory Council, in conjunction with Chester County and Penn State University, will be providing a compost barrel, free of charge to North Coventry Township residents who attend a composting training session on Thursday, September 11 at 7:00 PM.

Composting is an environmentally friendly way to decompose plant material. Fruits, vegetables, leaves, tea bags, coffee grounds, egg shells, grass clippings are common items that are easily composted. Composting these items keeps them from ending up in landfills, saving transportation costs and landfill space. It is estimated that about one third of landfill space is taken up by organic yard and kitchen waste.

You end up with free nutrient rich compost, which can be used to improve soil in gardens, lawns and flower pots. Using compost can eliminate the need to add fertilizer to the soil. After all, the fewer chemicals we use, the better off the environment.

The training will be given by a certified Master Composter at the North Coventry Township building. There are 19 compost barrels (about 40 gallon capacity) available and will be given out after the training session on a first come first serve basis, limit one per household. You must be a North Coventry resident to receive a bin, but all area citizens are welcome to attend.

Contact Bill Cannon at 610-326-3918 to reserve a barrel and a seat at the training session.

Emergency Operations Plan Updated

The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Code mandates that North Coventry Township prepare, maintain and keep current an emergency operations plan for the prevention and minimization of injury and damage caused by a major emergency or disaster within North Coventry Township. On April 14th, 2008 the Board of Supervisors approved and adopted in response to that mandate an emergency operations plan to provide prompt and effective emergency response procedures to be followed in the event of a major emergency or disaster. North Coventry Township has also prepared an emergency operations plan in order to reduce the potential affects of a major emergency or disaster and to protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents of North Coventry Township. This plan shall be reviewed on a bi-annual basis to make certain that it conforms to the requirements of the Chester County Emergency Operations Plan and PEMA Directive number D2007-1. <To View the Approved Plan Click Here>
