PennDOT, PSP, Turnpike Commission Warn Against Texting Scams
PennDOT, Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), and Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) are warning about text phishing scams currently targeting Pennsylvanians that threaten the suspension of driving and vehicle registration privileges for not paying a fine or toll violation. PennDOT does not send text messages to customers for any reason, and uses traditional mail sent via the U.S. Postal Service to communicate with Pennsylvanians. PA Turnpike does not text E-ZPass or Toll by Plate customer
  
The PSP emphasizes the importance of protecting oneself from scams by following these guidelines:  
 
- Never share personal information, including banking or credit card details, through email or text message.  
 
- Stay vigilant. Scam emails or text messages usually appear legitimate. If you are not expecting an email or text message from an entity, do not click on any links or respond to the message. Look up a legitimate customer service phone number for the entity and contact them directly. 

The PSP advises that victims of scams should contact their local law enforcement agency and file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. E-ZPass account holders and Toll by Plate customers can use approved, safe methods to check their accounts, such as the official PA Turnpike E-ZPass website.

TRASH & RECYCLING REMINDER TO OUR RESIDENTS:
Residents are reminded that trash and recycling containers are to be placed at the curb after 6:00 p.m. the evening prior to their collection day. The reason is that trash and recycling collection activities are not scheduled according to a specific time in a specific neighborhood. This means that just because trash was collected at 9:00 a.m. for the past month, it will be collected at the same time going forward. Collection times may vary for a number of reasons. Please make every effort to place all containers at the curb the evening prior to collection day.
