📰 News we're reading

• Jenkintown's waste hauler detects suspected medical waste in trash stream (glensidelocal.com) — Jenkintown Borough’s trash hauler has quarantined a truck after a radioactive waste monitor detected suspected low-level medical waste in the borough’s trash stream, and officials are warning residents about proper disposal. Items used during treatments like chemotherapy may need hospital drop-off or short-term at-home holding instead of regular curbside pickup, to avoid costly cleanup, delays in trash collection, and potential safety risks.
