Borough residents are kept abreast of local events by strategically placed message boards, thanks to the Coplay Recreation & Welfare Association. The sign is located off Chestnut Street, between the borough veterans monument and Giant gas station.

Trinity United Church of Christ has its messages posted on a similar sign on the church property at Third and Coplay streets, and the Coplay Public Library has just put up a message board at Fifth and Center streets, outside the library.

Borough public works crews are on a modified schedule during the week of New Year's Day. Garbage will be picked up as usual Monday and Tuesday; however, recycling materials will be picked up Wednesday instead of Thursday.
