Carnegie Borough's Annual Memorial Day Parade - Cancelled

We regret to announce that Carnegie Borough's annual Memorial Day Parade will not take place in 2020. The cancellation of this event has been a difficult decision to make, however we know that this is the right thing to do to ensure the safety of our participants, staff, volunteers, veterans, security personnel and spectators. In order to stay in compliance with government recommendations of social distancing and no more than 10 people in one place, this is necessary.

Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of our country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. While we cannot come together and have a parade, each citizen can take a moment and reflect on the sacrifices made by those we remember and honor each Memorial Day.

Stay safe, stay well, and stay tuned for updates in Carnegie Borough.

BOROUGH OF CARNEGIE POLICE DEPARTMENT & MAYOR STACIE RILEY

We are all facing challenges during these unprecedented times. The Carnegie Police Department realizes the stress we are all under with many people out of work, many unable to leave their homes and many unable to gather with loved ones or friends to celebrate special occasions. With that being said, I want to assure you the Carnegie Police Department is here for you.

Until we are all back to normal, we will be offering a free service to the residents of Carnegie and Pennsbury Village Boroughs. If you have a family member or friend that is celebrating a special occasion the Carnegie Police Department will drive-by your home and at a distance celebrate the event. This will be done tastefully with the overhead lights flashing and sirens sounding just to let the special person know that even during these times we all care.

To organize a Carnegie Police drive-by celebration please call (412) 276-4245 or send an email with the date, time and what the special occasion is to jlkennedy@carnegiepolice.org.

REPUBLIC SERVICES UPDATE - BULK & YARD WASTE COLLECTIONS

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation to make sure we’re doing the right thing for the communities we serve.

We are working hard to make sure our customers receive the highest quality customer service and that there are minimal service disruptions during this time. Over the last 30 days, we realigned and reprioritized our collection routes, which resulted in temporary suspension of bulk and yard waste in select markets.
 

We’re pleased to announce that we are resuming bulk and yard waste collection services in your community the week of April 27th. We continue to see higher volume from our residential customers, which means our drivers need to operate as efficiently as possible to finish their collection routes on time. Therefore, we ask that all material either fit into the residential cart with the lid closed or be properly bagged if your program is not carted. We are committed to serve.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update

Click here for the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) dedicated page for information on COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Stop the Spread of Germs click here.

Steps to Take:

Know the symptoms: COVID-19 symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath - and may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure. Person-to-person spread mainly occurs via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, like the flu. A less common form of transmission can take place from objects or surfaces that become infected.

Take precautions: If you are sick, stay home. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Cover your cough or sneeze. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. If you have recently traveled in an area with COVID-19 infections or have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 and are showing symptoms, monitor your health and contact your doctor.

Plan ahead: Make sure you have extra food, medical supplies, and emergency kits in your home. Talk to your family, friends, and neighbors to develop emergency plans - particularly for children, seniors, and anyone with chronic medical conditions that may make them particularly susceptible to illness.

Stay informed: Stick with trusted and official sources for accurate and timely updates including CDC.gov and health.pa.gov
