SUPPLIES AT TOWN HALL

Relief continues to arrive in North Carolina. A daycare in TEXAS sent Cleaning supplies and personal care items to us and they are available for free at Bridgeton Town Hall. You can come to Town Hall until 5:00 pm Friday and all next week during regular hours, (9:000 am - 5:00 pm) and the staff will help you free of charge.
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!

The Bridgeton Town Council met in full regular session for the first time post Florence Tuesday evening and resumed business as usual.

The state of emergency is no longer in effect but Mayor Williams cautions all residents to please continue to stay safe.

Several motions were presented and passed including the transfer of $115, 000 from the sewer fund to the general fund in the form of a loan to cover costs of clean up from Florence. This will be paid back by funds from FEMA that the town has applied for.

The town will waive costs for building and electrical permits to all residents repairing damage from the storm until further notice.

The town prohibition of occupied trailers on private property has been waived for FEMA supplied trailers and motor homes. This is intended to be for residents needing temporary housing while repairing their permanent structures. This prohibition is waived for the next six (6) months.

Mayor Williams reported a total to date of 1,150 cubic yards of storm debris has been removed and work is progressing as quickly as safely possible.






Elaine Bryan, our wonderful town clerk, will be retiring at the end of October.
Her position will be ably filled by
Melba Banks.
