From the City of Sea Isle City
MARCH 6, 2025

The month of March has arrived – and with it comes the usual excitement about the year ahead. However, this year, in addition to the many wonderful seasonal events and activities we have planned, we also have a very important project developing that will make 2025 extremely memorable – and, quite frankly, historic. Of course, I am speaking about Sea Isle City’s future Community Center, which you are no doubt aware is currently under construction in the 4500-block of Central Avenue.

The items listed in this annual bond ordinance were previously approved in the city’s 2025 Capital Plan.

Annual Garden Club Special Event
Happens Tonight, March 6
The Sea Isle City Garden Club invites the public to attend their annual “Green Auction” fundraiser on Thursday, March 6, at 6:30 PM inside the Community Lodge (adjacent to the Welcome Center at 300 JFK Boulevard). During the Green Auction, anyone can place bids on a variety of wrapped (mystery) items, which are either Saint Patrick’s Day-themed or green in appearance – some of which are fun gag gifts (the most coveted of all being the group’s annual “head of cabbage”). When each gift is purchased by the highest bidder, it is immediately unwrapped for all to see. Most items sell for $5 to $20. Light refreshments will be served.

TRASH & RECYCLING REMINDER
Please Do Not Place Household Trash
in Public Receptacles
Please remember that it is unlawful to place household trash and recycling in public receptacles (including trash and recycling cans in parks, on sidewalks and along the Promenade). Overflowing cans entice seagulls and other wildlife to rummage through the trash – and in the process they create litter that can blow into the street, onto the beach, and into the bay. For your convenience, Sea Isle City’s Trash & Recycling Depot (aka: Drop Off Yard) at 401 JFK Boulevard is open every day (except some holidays) from 7:15 AM to 2:45 PM. For more info about Sea Isle’s trash & recycling regulations, please phone the DPW at 609-263-6000 or CLICK HERE.
