From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
After months of eager anticipation, Memorial Day Weekend finally arrived – and it was wonderful to see neighbors reconnecting with neighbors and old friends catching-up on the events of the past year. Although the weather was not up to our liking, it did not seem to dampen anyone’s spirits or lessen the number of people who were in Sea Isle City during the long holiday weekend. READ MORE

From The Members of City Council...
Due to COVID-19, the May 25 City Council meeting was held remotely; however, members of the public were able to participate in the meeting telephonically.
At the start of the May 25 meeting, Mayor Desiderio explained that the City has been struggling to establish healthy trees along JFK Boulevard, because the wide-open, wind-swept corridor makes it especially difficult for many species of trees to grow in this environment. READ MORE

Important Info From The DPW
No Household Trash in Public Receptacles: 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 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 is open nearly every day of the year for your convenience.
The Depot: The City’s Trash & Recycling Drop-Off Area (aka The Depot), 401 JFK Boulevard next to the Sea Isle Bridge, is open 7-days a week from 7:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. The Depot is closed on some holidays – however it is OPEN on July Fourth and Labor Day. Please remember that The Depot does not accept bulk trash.
Bulk Trash: There are no bulk trash collections during the summer season. Curbside bulk trash collections will resume in the autumn, starting with a city-wide bulk trash collection on the fourth Thursday in September.
Curbside Trash & Recycling Schedule: The “Summer” collection schedule is now in effect, with two (2) curbside collections per street each week on the following days…

Turtles Crossing!
Please drivel slowly and be on the look-out for Diamondback Terrapin Turtles as they cross our busy roads in search of nesting spots! If you see a Diamondback Terrapin crossing the street and you want to offer your assistance, help the turtle go in the direction she is headed if you are able – BUT ALWAYS THINK “SAFETY FIRST” and use caution whenever you step into the street. Also, please don't stand over turtles and take photos while they are nesting...this may frighten them and they'll walk away.
If you see an injured turtle, please phone Susan or Steve Ahern, of Sea Isle Terrapin Rescue, at 609-263-7358. If the Aherns are not available, please follow the instructions on their answering machine.
