Boy Scout Troop 90 is conducting their annual Food drive on Saturday April 27th. Since the Scouts cannot visit each house in Forest Hills this year to pick-up donated food, we are asking our neighbors to please drop-off their non-perishable food in front of the White Cross at Forest Hills Presbyterian Church, 1840 Ardmore Boulevard, on Saturday, April 27th between 10 AM and 2 PM. Thank You!

The county has launched a new Recycling Drop-Off Finder. The new tool is available online and includes a searchable database, with map, to help residents identify drop-off places for disposal or recycling, including hard-to-recycle items. The collaboration between Health, Sustainability and Information Technology recently went live at https://alleghenycounty.us/recyclingfinder.
The new Recycling Drop-off Finder does not contain information on curbside pickups but provides support to residents searching for what to do with items like batteries, electronics, or tires. These items are typically ones not accepted in curbside programs.
Thank you to all who participated in this survey. The results are available here. A subcommittee is reviewing the data and will submit recommendations to council sometime in the new year. Those recommendations will be posted to the website when they become available.

The Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) measures air quality every day using monitors throughout the County, and the readings of those monitors are classified on an Air Quality Index (AQI). If the AQI is forecasted to be over 100 on a given day, ACHD issues an Air Quality Watch. If the AQI is measured at over 100, ACHD issues an Air Quality Warning. This information is then communicated over the Allegheny Alerts system.
If you would like to receive alerts go to www.alleghenycounty.us/alerts and enter your contact information. When an alert is sent on a topic you’ve chosen, you’ll receive it on the devices you’ve selected. Get an email at work, text on your cell and call at home – as many or few as you want. There’s even an app for it. You can add, delete and change your devices and topics any time. It’s all up to you.
To understand more about our air quality and the index check out the brochure here.
