Dear Resident,
As we celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday, I thank our Marlboro moms for all you do for our families and our community. We would not be where we are without you.
Marlboro Day, our biggest event of the year, will be held on September 10. Vendor and sponsor opportunities are available now. Space is limited so don’t delay. More in the ‘Programs and Events’ section below.
A reminder that no bulk pick up is scheduled the week following Mother’s Day to ensure that our streets have plenty of parking for guests and are safe for vehicles and pedestrians. Details are below.
Please read on for Township programs and events.
NOTICES
Spring Clean-Up/Bulk Pick-up and Brush collection is underway by zone. Please adhere to the regulations to ensure safety for pedestrians, vehicles and the workers collecting the bulk pickup. We remind everyone that there is no bulk pick up the week following Mother’s Day so the streets are clear for guests. For dates and details see the letter from DPW HERE
PSA – During bulk pickup, it is advisable that you do not leave any items close to the curb or they may be mistaken for bulk collection. Bring bikes, toys, equipment, etc. close to your house or preferably in your garage or backyard.
