Tennis Court And Recycling News for 6/10/2020

Tennis Court Update

This past week, the Board approved the recommendation from the Athletic Field Committee to hire Steen Associates to repair and resurface the tennis court.  It has taken a lot of discussion and research to arrive at this decision and I appreciate the help and patience of the entire community over the last several years.  We are tentatively scheduled to have the work start at the beginning of July and it will take 7 – 10 days to complete (weather permitting).  Normally this type of work would be scheduled during the off season, but the Committee and Board felt that given the unusual challenges we have all faced this year, it would be best to complete the project as soon as possible.  As we get closer to the start date, I will keep all of you informed of the schedule and any associated court/field closures.

Recycling Update

After reviewing several quotes from garbage/recycling providers in the area, the Board has approved expanding our existing contract with Tassielli Disposal to handle recycling as well.  A dumpster has been delivered to the parking area of the Athletic Field for residents to drop off their recyclable materials.  This is a single stream collection bin so you can mix your plastics, metals, glass, paper, and cardboard – no need to separate materials.  You should continue to use the Denville Recycling Depot to drop off specialty items such as vehicle batteries, automotive fluids, consumer electronics, and tires.  The Depot is back to its normal operating hours:  Monday – Friday – 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM, Saturdays – 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and Sundays – 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
