Code Red
South Union highly recommends that all our residents sign up for CodeRed, a free emergency notification service that provides crucial information quickly. It is more important than ever to stay informed and prepared for any emergency that may arise. By signing up for this service, every household member can receive public notices and alerts that may impact their safety and well-being, ensuring that everyone in our community has the necessary information to make informed decisions during emergencies and feel secure and reassured.
One of CodeRed's key features is its mobile app, which is widely used by communities throughout the United States for emergency alerts. Travelers with the app can receive notifications from other areas, allowing them to stay informed and safe while on the go. This free app is available for download on the App Store and Google Play at no cost, making it easily accessible to everyone in our community.
Please encourage family, friends, and neighbors to sign up today. We want you to know you will not be bombarded with nuisance notifications. Recently, we sent out a notification about car thefts, and if you had signed up, you would have known it was on your street or in your neighborhood.
Please help us keep you and our community informed. Sign up for free today.

$1.00 per month Recycling Fee
Starting in February, 2017, a $1.00 per month recycling charge will be assessed each household and business within South Union Township. This charge will be incorporated into residents’ monthly sewage bills. The charge will cover the operating deficit experienced by Goodwill Industries (the collector of recyclables) along with a portion of this fee that will be used to purchase needed recycling equipment and address other recycling related costs such as new recycling equipment and conducting an educational program. This fee is necessary due to the ever-increasing operational costs incurred by Goodwill Industries over the past five years. Goodwill has experienced a budget deficit that is unsustainable and they cannot continue to offer recycle services while losing money. One issue that has led to the financial deficit experienced by Goodwill is because of the lack of participation by residents in the recycling program. Less recyclable materials are collected, thereby resulting in less income that is generated from the sale of these processed recyclable materials. A public education program will be instituted in the upcoming months with the specific goal of encouraging all residents to recycle.
