The Public Works Department will begin sweeping the Township streets on Monday, March 27, 2023. Sweeping helps protect our waterways and keeps our neighborhoods clean and livable. Debris on the streets can clog storm drains and pollute our streams and rivers.

Crews will post “No Parking” signs prior to sweeping residential streets. Parking will be prohibited from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the day of sweeping.

The street sweeper will begin in the areas of North Hills, Boro View, and Hampton Ridge before proceeding to the Allen Village and Kensington area. After these areas are complete the street sweeper will begin sweeping south of Route 329.

How can residents help?

To provide efficient and quick sweeping, our equipment needs to get to the curb without obstructions. Please observe the following:

• The spring street sweeping program typically takes several weeks to complete and could be delayed by cold or wet weather, parked vehicles or excessive amounts of winter anti-skid material.
  
  
• Please keep in mind that this is a very slow moving vehicle. Please use caution while passing.
  
  

Your cooperation and patience is greatly appreciated!

Please direct all street sweeping related questions or concerns to the Public Works Department by calling 610-262-7012 ext 105.

Allen Township has received reports of door-to-door solicitation for the purpose of selling various goods and items (including solar panels). Please note that Allen Township requires each salesperson and helper to obtain a SOLICITATION PERMIT from the Allen Township office.

Follow these tips when it comes to door-to-door sales:

• - Ensure that the salesperson has obtained the proper permit from Allen Township (this is a small yellow laminated card that is issued from Allen Township). Allen Township reviews applications for each salesperson and has a copy of their driver’s license/identification card on file in the office. When applicable, Allen Township may take other steps to ensure the salesperson is who they say they are. For more information about this ordinance and requirements view the Code of Allen Township Chapter 13 Part 2 by clicking this link: https://ecode360.com/15947669. You can always contact the Allen Township Municipal Office (610-262-7012 info@allentownship.org) to verify if a solicitation/vendor permit has been issued for an individual.
  
  
• - Look out for red flags such as deals that are too good to be true or “free” items or services.
  
  
• - Be wary of a salesperson who wants you to make a decision on the spot or sign an agreement, lease, or loan application. If you are interested in the product they are selling, take down their information and think about it for a while. Better yet look up reviews on the company/product and obtain other quotes from other vendors. If the salesperson does not have the time to answer your questions or seems as if they’re dodging the question, it might be a scam. If you decide to contact the company for further information it is best to do a Google search of the company and contact them at the number provided on their website rather than a number that was provided to you.
  
  
• - Keep in mind that it is easy to carry a clipboard and have an “ID badge” – this does not prove they are who they say they are.
  
  
• - Make sure your neighbors, friends, and relatives are aware of these types of sales so they do not fall victim.
  
  
• - Do not let anyone you do not know and were not expecting inside your home. Do not provide any information about your home, the people who reside in the home, your finances, or your day-to-day activities.
  
  
• - Do not sign anything and always read the fine print.
  
  
• - When in doubt, tell the salesperson that you are not interested and close and lock your door!
  
  

If at any time you feel unsafe you should immediately contact the police to file a report.
