Earth Day at Playwicki Farm and New Street Road Traffic Patterns
Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 22, 2026
Happy Wednesday and Happy Earth Day. If you are heading toward the Turnpike this morning, give yourself an extra five minutes—the crews are out on Street Road again, but the township tells us the finish line for this phase of the paving project is finally in sight. It is a beautiful morning to celebrate our local green spaces, and there is plenty of fresh mulch waiting for volunteers over at the farm.
📰 The Lead
Today marks a significant step for our local environment as Lower Southampton Township officially launches the "Green Feasterville" pilot program. Starting this morning, the township is rolling out a new curbside electronics recycling initiative, a direct response to the growing pile of "e-waste" that often ends up in our standard bins.
Residents can now schedule doorstep pickups for old monitors, printers, and small appliances through the municipal website. This move aims to keep heavy metals out of our local groundwater and save neighbors the long drive to the county’s hazardous waste events in Doylestown. Township officials will be at Playwicki Farm at 10:00 AM today to demonstrate the new sorting bins and hand out biodegradable lawn bags to the first fifty residents who stop by. It is a small change, but for a community nestled between busy corridors, protecting our patch of soil matters.

The high will reach a comfortable 64°F, though a brisk breeze from the northwest might make it feel a bit cooler in the shade.
