This ordinance requires peddlers, solicitors and canvassers to obtain a license before going door- to-door in the Township. Non-profit organizations are exempt from the licensing requirement; however, members of these organizations must carry proper identification. In order to protect the privacy of our residents, the Township has created a "Do Not Solicit" registry. A form to join this registry is available in the office of the Township Clerk, and can be downloaded from the Township website.

The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic and any police officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and storage which may result from such removal before regaining possession of the vehicle. Also, please remove all garbage containers from the road before a snow storm in order for the snow plows to get through and to check mailboxes and posts as the township only replaces them if the snowplow itself hits them. The above regulations apply to all municipal streets in the Township. R E C Y C L I N G Many residents have called the Administrative Office for information about recycling electronics.
