From the Mayor

This message brought to you by The Mayors Office of Shrewsbury Township, NJ. This is not the official site for Shrewsbury Township but I am the Mayor so I can blog here with semi-official stuff. For instance parking has been eliminated on Belshaw Avenue from the corner with Barker to the first marked space on Belshaw. This particular intersection has had many blocking problems when cars are parked on the one side and either landscapers or garbage truck block the street. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone but was necessary from a traffic point of view.
You will also notice on the center islands, five new trees to replace the dying ones overwatered due to our extremely wet weather we had. Thank you Conrad Smith Nurseries, Tinton Falls, NJ.
Also please know what goes to bulk area and what goes elsewhere...sticks and branches cut to four foot lengths and tied in a bundle is ok....loose piles of branches not allowed. Cardboard is now recyclable and should go to Township cardboard area at Township Garage on Crawford Street. Also if you trim flowers and bushes put clippings in large lawn or garbage bag, tie it closed and put out with bulk. Paint or paint cans will not be taken. I would also like to point out that there are only two bulk areas on center islands on Barker.
Bulk should not be put out until 6 PM the night before (Sunday for Monday pickup and Wednesday for Thursdays pickup). And please keep the emergency access lanes free of debris whether you are trimming trees or cleaning out that shed. If there's ever a fire and trucks need backdoor access and your blocking it, it will be a BIG fine.

Another quick note then I'm outta here! It has been decided that our little railroad track will become a commuter line to Lakewood. I must say there's enough bus service for Lakewood that this whole idea is just WRONG!!
