GREEN TEAM NEWS
As you go out and begin your Holiday Shopping the Green Team wants to remind you of the following:
Reusable Bags: Not Just for Groceries Anymore
Using reusable bags cuts down on waste. Only about 1 – 3% of plastic bags are recycled.
Time to think outside the box with reusable bags, especially while doing holiday shopping. Be creative and use them:
Wherever you shop, be a trendsetter and bring a reusable bag.
A tip to remember them: keep them in your car where you can see them, not in the trunk or the house.

CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT NEWS
In an effort to improve the level of service to our residents, the Township has entered into a shared services agreement with the Township of Montville for Construction Department Services. Effective January 1, 2019 all construction services including applications and issuance of construction permits and scheduling and performance of inspections will be administered through the Montville Township’s Construction Office.
This shared service agreement now provides Boonton Township residents with a full-time Construction Department staff – 8:30AM to 4:30PM Monday through Friday, a significant expansion beyond the limited hours of 2 to 3 hours twice a week for inspections. Having access to multiple, full-time inspectors will also provide for more opportunities to schedule inspections quickly.
Contact information for the Construction Department is as follows:
Township of Montville
