At the request of the Aston Township Board of Commissioners, the Delaware County Intermediate Unit (the “DCIU”) held a public meeting on February 4th during which time they received a significant amount of constructive feedback that is currently being reviewed.

Environmental awareness and sustainability have become a priority in Aston, and the recycling effort is leading the way.
