Bridgeton, NC 28519

Merry Christmas to all and to all a wonderful new year.

Hey everybody, Santa arrived in Bridgeton Sunday December 2nd evening. We have pictures to prove it. Click on Santas' nose, above, and check them out!!

The link above will take you to the newsletter archives. It a living history of how our town has grown and developed over the last several years.

The Bridgeton Community Watch is now sponsoring a "Welcome Wagon Basket" Program. March marked the official start of our program when we delivered our First Basket. We feel that this program will be another way of making a new resident not only feel welcome but at the same time offering items in the Basket relative to our Town and its services. If you know of a new neighbor who has just arrived in Town, please call Kim Alexander at 1-215-327-7745. Your call will be appreciated in Welcoming them to Our Town.

Recycling Reminder
Effective January 1st, 2013, Waste Industries (252 633-2175) began collecting all residential recycling under an updated set of requirements. Recyclables will only be collected according to the schedule set under the new guidelines which were sent out late last year. You can pick up a copy of the new guidelines at Town Hall.
Please adhere to the list of acceptable and unacceptable items and make sure that all recyclables are placed in an acceptable container. Thank you!

Trash Reminder
Effective February 13, 2018, Waste Industries (252 633-2175) will be collecting all residential trash.
Please be sure to have the correct stickers attached and follow the guidelines issued in the letter to all residents sent out late last year.

Thank you for your cooperation!
