Coronavirus Update 45
July 9, 2020
Dear Resident,
I hope everyone is doing well and staying cool. I wanted to take a moment and share the following Marlboro Township and New Jersey updates, news and events.
Parks – Township playgrounds reopened on July 2. Public restrooms at Vanderburg and the Municipal Complex are open and port-a-johns have been placed at parks and ballfields. Restrooms and playgrounds will be sanitized daily. Signs reminding residents to help stop the spread of COVID-19 are placed throughout our Town in parks and public areas. HERE
Litter - We are finding large amounts of litter, including bottles, cans, masks and gloves left at our parks and fields. Garbage cans are available at every park location. Not only is litter unsightly and against the law, it is dangerous, leaving potentially contaminated items that must be cleaned up by our Public Works Department employees. We are asking everyone to please respect your neighbors and our shared spaces and leave our parks clean and thank you for your cooperation.
Marlboro Paper Shredding – Saturday, July 11 from 9am to 1pm (or until the truck is filled) for Marlboro residents only. Please remove all staples and clips, 100 pound limit enforced. Please stay in your car and put on your mask when approached. FLYER
Family Movie Night featuring The Secret Life of Pets 2– The first in our Backyard Movie Series will be held on Tuesday, July 21. This event is free and no reservations are required. Seating will begin at 7:45pm and the movie will start at dusk. Bring chairs/blankets, movie snacks and beverages. Face coverings will be required while not seated. No alcohol, smoking or pets are permitted. FLYER
