2008 Southeastern Pennsylvania Regional Household Hazardous Waste Collection and Old Computer Recycling Program
Many household products contain chemicals that when discarded contribute to the contamination of our environment by polluting our soil, air and water. A Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program provides the opportunity to reduce the amount of hazardous household chemical waste that is flushed down toilet and kitchen drains, "disposed" of in the backyard, dumped into storm drains or simply disposed of in the municipal waste stream. These typical means of disposal are both hazardous to public health and unnecessary. Yet, it continues because individuals are frequently unaware that many useful products contain hazardous chemicals. It is the consumer's responsibility to use and dispose of household products safely. Certain household waste should be brought to community household hazardous waste collections events for proper disposal. Click the link below for the location, dates and times for the five collection events scheduled for Bucks County. The flyer also outlines what to bring to these collection points and what items will not be accepted. All collections are held on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, rain or shine. This program is not for business, industry or institutions.

West Nile Virus
Click this button to learn what you can do to help win the battle against West Nile Virus. Take steps to reduce standing water which will become mosquito-breeding areas on your property. Help win the fight against West Nile Virus. Click the "back" button to return to this page.
Listed below are simple precautions to help prevent mosquito bites, particularly for those most at risk:
- Make sure screens fit tightly over doors and windows to keep mosquitoes out of your home
- Consider wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks when outdoors, particularly when mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk, or in areas known for having large numbers of mosquitoes<
- When possible, reduce outdoor exposure at dawn and dusk during peak mosquito periods (usually April through October)
- Use insect repellents according to the manufacturer’s instructions. An effective repellent will contain DEET. Consult with a pediatrician or family physician if you have questions about the use of repellent on children, as repellent is not recommended for children under the age of two.
Residents also can reduce the risk of West Nile virus by eliminating the places where mosquitoes breed. Mosquitoes can breed in any puddle that lasts more than four days.
- Eliminate standing water in any type of containers, including tin cans, plastic containers, bird baths or ceramic pots
- Remove standing water from discarded tires
- Clean clogged roof gutters and drains, especially if leaves from surrounding trees tend to plug up drains
- Clean and chlorinate swimming pools
- Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use
- Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish
- Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers left outdoors
West Nile virus is spread to people and animals by infected mosquitoes. The virus can cause West Nile encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. While anyone can contract the virus, older adults and people with compromised immune systems are at highest risk of developing the disease.
People with mild infections of West Nile virus may experience fever, headache, body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands. People with more serious infections may experience high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, occasional convulsions and paralysis. Secretary Johnson advises anyone with any of these symptoms to contact a doctor. There is no specific treatment for West Nile virus. While most people fully recover, in severe cases, hospitalization is needed.
For more information about West Nile virus, including current test results for mosquitoes, birds and horses, visit the West Nile virus website at www.westnile.state.pa.us or call the Department of Health at 1-877-PA HEALTH.
Parental Duty Program
We are pleased to announce a new community program to assist parents in dealing with the drug problem facing their children today. Studies show how beneficial drug-testing can be in identifying possible use or abuse as early as possible – it can prevent drug dependence and help drug-dependent kids become drug-free kids. It is recommended that when parents suspect possible drug or alcohol use, they have their children tested by surprise. Quality, reliable and accessible testing must be used; however, such certified laboratory analysis can be expensive at a cost of over $50 per test.
Now, through a new and innovative program, the NAIVE Program is offereing a 10-Panel home drug test (with built-in adulterant test) to everyone in the community at a substancially discounted price for such a quality test.
The home drug test kits are available and may be picked up at the Middletown Township Police station in Langhorne, PA during regular business hours (weekdays from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM) for only $5.00 for Middletown Township residents or $10.00 for non-residents. All checks should be made payable to the NAIVE Program. You can also email us for information on how to have this reliable 10-Panel, complete home drug test kit (with built-in adulterant test) shipped directly to your home. Parents or Guardians will be provided with the confidential results. The results will not be provided to any other agency and are solely intended for the family to get the counseling or help that may be necessary.

Parents and/or Guardians can email us at: parentalduty@naiveprogram.org for more information or to have the test kit shipped.
Benefits of drug testing your children:
- Testing provides kids with a reason to say, “No” when approached to use drugs – enough to make some kids stop using drugs or never start in the first place.
- Early testing is critical to deter drug use because kids become addicted more rapidly than adults, and recovery is harder.
- Testing gives parents an opportunity for intervention and/or treatment.
- Testing of school-age children is critical because kids on drugs can’t learn as well. Testing helps create safe and drug-free learning environments.
- Testing is a tool to deter drug use and get drug education or counseling when needed – it helps straighten out some kids’ lives!

Residents of Pennsylvania are encouraged to use the e-mail or toll free number to report suspicious individuals or activity that may be directly or indirectly associated with terrorists or terrorist activity. In emergency situations, citizens should phone their local Police Department rather than use the terrorism tip line. To report security or terrorism information, call 888-292-1919, e-mail sp-intelligence@state.pa.us or visit www.psp.state.pa.us for more information.
Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency Hotline

Flood Protection Information
A few neighborhoods in Middletown Township suffered heavy flooding damage in both 1996 and 1999. The Township wishes to ensure that all residents and business owners who have suffered damage from these and other storms are informed about flood protection. The following information provides property owners with ideas of what they can do to protect themselves.
Township Flood Services: The first thing property owners should do is check their flood hazard risk. Flood maps and flood protection references are available free of charge at the Middletown Township Department of Licenses and Inspections located at the Municipal Center, 3 Municipal Way, Langhorne. Because your property is located in a flood plain or has experienced a flood, it is important that you review these sources of information and assistance. Township residents can also call 215-750-3800, extension 115, for more information.
Flood Insurance: If you don’t have flood insurance, talk to your insurance agent. Homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover damage from floods. However, you can purchase a separate flood insurance policy. Flood insurance typically covers all surface floods. This insurance is backed by the Federal Government and is available to everyone, even for properties that have already been flooded. Some people may have purchased flood insurance because a bank required it for a mortgage or home improvement loan. These policies generally cover the building structure but not the contents. Usually there is more damage to furniture and contents than there is to a structure. If you are covered, check out the policy and make sure you have contents coverage. Remember, even if the last flood missed you or you have done some flood proofing, the next flood could be worse.
Flood Protection: Flood protection can involve a variety of changes to your house and property -- changes that can vary in complexity and cost. You may be able to make some types of changes yourself. But complicated or large-scale changes and those that affect the structure of your house or its electrical wiring and plumbing should be carried out only by a professional contractor licensed to work in Middletown Township. One example of flood protection is adding a waterproof veneer to the exterior walls of your house. This is something that only a licensed contractor should do.
Homeowners, contractors and businesses can visit the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website at www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/bestpractices and http://www.fema.gov/hazard/index.shtm for up to date information on planning, prevention and best practices for flood protection and management .
