Weekend Update

Dear Resident,

The weather has warmed and residents are enjoying our parks and open spaces.  I ask everyone to please slow down and be on the lookout for bicycles, motorcyclists, walkers and runners.  Parents, please take a moment and review bike safety with your kids HERE.

As you begin to fill pools and water lawns, the Marlboro Water Utility reminds you that water bills are driven by consumption.  Please check for leaks and ensure everything is running properly so there are no surprises when you receive your bill.  Click HERE for more.

Landscaper Registration - A reminder that all landscapers who do work for hire in Marlboro Township must register using our on-line portal on the Township website.  This free registration must be complete no later than September 1, 2021.  The registration portal can be accessed by visiting our website at www.marlboro-nj.gov and click the ‘Landscaper Registration’ under Quick Links and Actions or the ‘I need to Learn about…’ drop down box.  The landscaper registers their business on the portal one time on the portal and then enters EACH address they service.  We ask for your help ensuring that your landscaper is aware of this requirement.
