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.

Mailboxes hanging over the curb may be too close to the street and run the risk of being damaged by a snow plow. Our Public Works drivers make every attempt to be mindful of mailboxes. In the event your mailbox does sustain damage, the Township will either repair your mailbox or reimburse the homeowner up to $75 with proof of receipt. Questions? Call the Township Clerk: 908.735.8800, ext 204. r e q u e S t S f o r o P e n P u b l i C r e C o r d S ( o P r a ) The Open Public Records Act has been in effect for some time; this law insures that the public has timely and full access to government records. The law states that records should be made immediately available when possible; for example, the annual budget, copies of vouchers, bill lists, etc. are records that fall into this category. O t h e r r e c o r d s m u s t b e m a d e available within seven business days; if this is not possible the person requesting the record must receive a response advising when the records will be available, along with an estimate or cost for copying these records. Current minutes and agendas are available on the Township website (www.ClintonTWPNJ.com). Older records are stored in archives and take time to research.
