Good afternoon, folks. I can really use your help with something. If you can, just help spread the word on this fundraiser Two nice young ladies, Dora and ...Barbara, from the Minersville Area Historical Society approached me a little while ago asking me for help raising some funds. I understand they will use the funds to purchase some software that will streamline scanning and storing important historical documents and photos from in and around Minersville. Also, if you didn't know, the Minersville Area Historical Society does have some things on display for the public. More info on that soon. My friends at the Minersville Area Lions Club agreed to help, too. These guys and gals will help package meals for us. You can purchase tickets through them or at Washington Hotel in Minersville. If you hate spaghetti (or just can't be avaliable) but love the idea, the Minersville Lions can take donations through Square on behalf of the Historical Society. Cheers!

To clarify some confusion, the Minersville Borough has their own recycling program. The article regarding the Schuylkill County Recycling Program will not affect the Minersville Borough curbside/drop off recycling program. The remaining curbside pick ups for 2020 will be North Side: Nov 18, December 2 and 16 South Side: Nov 25, December 9 and 23

Cars are being towed. This is to keep traffic flowing on Sunbury St which is a state highway. If your car is one that is towed, contact Minersville Police Dept. 570-544-6212
