Leaf Collection Notice

It’s curbside leaf collection time again. Please do your part to help our Public Works Department by removing obstructions such as basketball hoops and similar items from the street in front of your property.  Also, please do not place leaves between vehicles with less than a 10-foot gap.  Obstructions in the street hinder workers ability to efficiently and effectively perform their job, and may cause injuries and damage equipment. Crews have been instructed to bypass properties that have obstructions until items are removed.  

NJDEP Fire Ban on All Public Lands and Private Properties in All Municipalities Throughout the State

2024 FireRestrictions DEP

🔥 All outdoor fires are prohibited unless they are contained in an elevated stove using only propane, natural gas or electricity. This includes bon fires and residential fire pits.  

🔥 No wood or charcoal fires are allowed, and the use of kerosene or gas torches of any kind is prohibited while this level of restriction is in place.  

🔥 No firework celebrations are allowed.  

🔥 The fire ban is in place on all public lands and private properties in all municipalities throughout the state.

Most wildfires can be avoided by adhering to these commonsense safety tips: 

  • Don’t discard cigarettes, matches or smoking materials on the ground. 
  • Use indoor wood stoves and fireplaces carefully, both can emit embers that spark fires. Fully douse ashes with water before disposal. 
  • Be mindful where you park or drive your vehicle. Hot exhaust systems can ignite dry vegetation if parked or driven over it.  
  • Be careful when cutting your grass or using other yard tools. Power tools like lawnmowers and chainsaws can throw off sparks that ignite dry grass or leaves. 
  • Keep matches and lighters away from children.
