Post-Holiday Cleanup Underway at Local Parks This Morning
Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 6, 2026
The last of the sparklers have fizzled out, and the humidity is already settling in over the township this morning. If you’re heading out early, you’ll likely see cleanup crews tidying up the route along Bustleton Pike where the community gathered for Saturday’s festivities.
📰 The Lead
The dust is finally settling on what local officials are calling one of the most successful Independence Day celebrations in recent memory. Saturday’s parade brought thousands to the sidewalks of Feasterville, with local fire companies, youth sports teams, and civic groups stretching the length of the route. While the weekend was a triumph of community spirit, the focus today shifts back to the logistics of a short work week. Public Works crews are prioritizing the restoration of Russell Elliot Memorial Park and Playwicki Farm this morning, ensuring that the heavy foot traffic from the holiday hasn't left a lasting mark on the green spaces. If you noticed a few extra overflowing bins during your Sunday walk, expect them to be cleared by noon today as the township returns to its standard maintenance rhythm.
