2021 Wilkes-Barre City Calendar Mayor George C. Brown
A Message from
Mayor George C. Brown
For all of the wrong reasons, 2020 was a year that we will never forget. The pandemic raged in our community, routine rhythms of daily life were disrupted,
and lives were lost and families irreparably scarred. Yet, I still found cause for hope. Even amidst the gloomiest days of 2020, I still saw progress achieved. Our
city mourned but we did not despair. Our city stumbled but we did not fall. Our city struggled but we overcame.
I am well aware of the challenges that Wilkes-Barre faces. No doubt difficult decisions loom; however, I am as confident as ever that there is nothing that
we cannot achieve together. As a people, we have always stood for a few basic principles. Progress through sacrifice. Progress through resilience. Progress through
compassion. We have always rejected the politics of expedience. We have always rejected the politics of self-interest. We have always rejected the politics of
opportunism.
Last year, we made difficult but necessary decisions to restore confidence in city government and solidify city finances. We also revived dormant commercial
and residential development projects that are vital to the future of the city. We must continue to invest in ourselves if we expect Wilkes-Barre to thrive in
the coming years.
In this calendar you will find changes to accepted recyclable items and changes to collection schedules. The global recycling industry has changed significantly
in the past few years. We must do our part to properly recycle, both for the health of the environment and for the financial savings that proper recycling
provides.
Let us continue the work that we have begun. I hope that 2021 will bestow nothing but blessings upon you, your family, and your friends.
The annual city calendar is a valuable tool which provides Wilkes-Barre’s residents with information about:
Garbage, Recycling and Yard Waste Collection Schedules; Holidays and Special Events; City Hall Phone Directory and more.
The calendar is also available on the city’s website at www.wilkes-barre.city.
As with any calendar, curbside collection schedules and events are subject to change due to weather and/or available personnel.tŝůŬĞƐͲĂƌƌĞŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝů
