Pick a reputable contractor with these tips from Cranberry Police and the Better Business Bureau.
With the warm weather finally here, many people are considering having work done on their homes or getting their driveways sealed. But how do you choose the right contractor? Cranberry Police Sgt. Chuck Mascellino warned residents who might want to have their asphalt driveways patched or resealed to be careful about who they hire—especially if the contractor offers to do the job on the cheap. Mascellino said to be leery of contractors who solicit customer by saying they have extra materials left over from a previous job and are able to do another driveway at a third of the price. “Most of the companies may have some excess supply, but not enough to do another entire driveway,” Mascellino said. While these companies may complete the work, …

There will be a free drive-thru for people to drop off unwanted items—no questions asked.
Cranberry Township will once again participate in the nationwide Prescription Drug Take-Back Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27 in the parking lot of the Municipal Center on Rochester Road. The popular drive-thru, drop-off collection program, which was initiated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration several years ago, will be staffed and coordinated by members of Cranberry Township's own police department. It has several goals. First, pharmaceuticals and OTC medications expire, lose potency, and in some cases spoil. Their effects on the patient, as a result, are not what they are supposed to be, a statement from the township said. As a result, drugs should be discarded after their expiration dates to safeguard the health…
