Even though many of us are wondering where the month of July went, I am happy to report that the Summer of 2023 is going very well here in Sea Isle City. In addition to the amazing weather we have experienced, our seasonal events continue to delight people of all ages, our beaches are bustling, and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
As you may have heard, earlier this month we were very fortunate to welcome the Stanley Cup back to Sea Isle City – thanks to Vegas Golden Knights Assistant Coach John Stevens and his wife, Stacy, who graciously brought that iconic trophy to our community following the Golden Knights’ championship win in the spring.

TRASH & RECYCLING REMINDER
No Household Trash in
Public Receptacles Please!
Please remember that Ordinance 18-2.14 prohibits placing household trash and recycling in public trash and recycling cans, including those found in Sea Isle’s parks, along the sidewalks, on the beach and on the Promenade. Overloading public cans with household trash and recycling can lead to litter. So, please put your household trash and recycling on the curb in front of your property on the proper collection day, always using the required containers with lids and never placing trash on the curb in plastic bags. Also, please remember that The Trash & Recycling Drop-Off Depot (401 JFK Boulevard, next to the bridge) is open from 7:15 AM to 2:45 PM nearly every day of the year for your convenience.
