Leaf Collection |
The Borough of Raritan leaf collection began in mid- October. As in the past, residents should rake their leaves to the curb to be vacuumed up. We ask that no other debris such as branches, brush, grass, or construction material be placed on top of the leaves. This could cause severe damage to the machines and cause a delay in vacuuming because of down time. Also Public Works will not be picking up leaves that are bagged. Bags must be emptied by the resident at curbside to be vacuumed up. This keeps leaves out of the garbage mainstream. With your cooperation leaf season can be done efficiently and as cost effective as possible. Thank you.

Tenants’ Rights During Foreclosure |
It has come to the New Jersey Public Advocate’s attention that some tenants are being inappropriately forced out of their homes when the building in which they are living has been foreclosed. Under NJ law, most tenants have the right to remain in their homes during and after a foreclosure. More information can be found on the Web.
If you are a tenant in a foreclosed property who requires assistance, please contact the Department of the Public Advocate, Office of Citizen Relations, at (609) 826-5070.
