Upper Merion Township is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, about 15 miles from Philadelphia.
Don’t burn wrapping paper or ribbons in fireplaces or wood stoves

Many contain dyes, inks, or coatings that release toxic fumes, spark dangerously, and increase fire risk.

Instead:
• Recycle plain paper & boxes
• Trash metallic/foil paper & ribbons

Stay safe and enjoy a healthy holiday season

Candle Safety Reminder 🕯️
Candles add seasonal warmth, but safety comes first—especially with kids around.

Keep candles away from décor, trees, and wrapping paper. Use sturdy holders, place them where they won’t tip, and always keep them out of reach of children.

Enjoy the glow safely ✨
