Please Refrain from Littering and Dumping on Public and Private Property

A friendly reminder to please be courteous of your neighbors and their property. Please do not throw trash, yard waste, cigarette butts or other garbage and debris onto someone else’s property. What may seem like a small thing can create extra work, damage, frustration and expense for the person or community association representative who must clean it up.

We all want to live in a clean, safe and respectful neighborhood. Please dispose of your trash properly. See https://ecode360.com/9426608 #9426608 for the township’s ordinance prohibiting littering and dumping. The police have been asked to enforce this ordinance for non-compliance. For questions regarding proper waste disposal visit https://www.plainsboronj.com/225/Public-Works or call 609-799-0099.

Understanding Tree Removal and Replacement Requirements

At this time of the year, we want to remind HOAs and residents that the township has an ordinance, based on state regulations, establishing requirements for tree removal and tree replacement in the township. The purpose is to reduce soil erosion and pollutant runoff, promote infiltration of rainwater into the soil, protect the environment, public health, safety, and welfare.

The township requires property owners and/or tree companies to submit a permit when removing trees. Upon review, and if not exempt, tree replacement may be required. The permit is available online from the Planning and Zoning Department page of the Township website at https://www.plainsboronj.com/DocumentCenter/View/16251/Tree-Removal-Permit-Fillable-Application-Form

Be aware that in New Jersey businesses that provide tree care services are legally required to be registered with the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts and must have a licensed individual on staff at the principal office and each branch office. This information must be included in the permit application.

If you have questions or are unsure what you need, please contact the Planning Department at (609) 799-0909 x 1502.
