Welcome to Avalon
Community news
The Borough has recently received numerous calls regarding the ongoing Columbia Gas project involving the Erdner Hill area of Avalon. We have had numerous discussions with representatives from Columbia Gas regarding their restoration schedule and efforts to keep residents informed.
As a result, Columbia Gas and their paving contractor, Mele Paving, provided a tentative schedule of work that will be completed over the next several weeks. The paving schedule is subject to change; we will continue to provide updates throughout the duration of the project.
We appreciate your patience. Both the Borough and Columbia Gas understand that this has been a long project, but the end is near. Columbia Gas and Mele Paving created an ambitious restoration schedule to ensure this project would be completed before the winter weather moves in.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
****** It's Leaf Collection Season! Please move your car in accordance with the post signs to avoid a $25.00 ticket. You can also review Street Sweeping Parking Regulations. If you have additional questions about the street sweeping schedule, please call the Borough Administrative Office at 412-761-5820 or the Avalon Police Non-Emergency Number at 412-761-0353. Let's work together to make the streets of Avalon a little cleaner.
Perhaps you visited the Chew Crew along the creek bank or maybe you came to cuddle with the kids at yoga. By now, we're sure you've met the goats that inhabit Avalon Park for a few weeks every summer to clear out the knotweed and other unwanted, invasive vegetation.
The weed warriors are ready to jump into action again with a recycling project but they need your help! The goats love to eat pumpkins (all gourds really)! To keep the gourds and pumpkins out of the landfill and to keep the goats well-fed during the cold weather months, Avalon Borough is offering a collection site to recycle your fall decor.
A gourd is any fruit or seed that grows inside of a shell or peel, whether it be the pumpkin, squash, watermelon, or cucumber family. Gourds are very high in vitamins A and C, as well as calcium, fiber, and potassium. They also contain antioxidants that help protect the goats from free radicals that cause cancer. Gourds also help improve their blood circulation, boost immune system, aid with digestion, improve eyesight, and buffer action against stomach acidity. Gourds are a great source of nutrition for the goats and are enjoyed by most.
The collection bins will be in the Avalon Park parking lot, near to the entrance. Please no painted or already rotten pumpkins. We are also able to accept cornstalks and straw bales if you want to drop those off too.
