On Saturday, June 24, volunteers with the American Red Cross and Woodbury City emergency service volunteers will be going door-to-door visiting households, offering free smoke alarm installations in homes that need them.

 

They will be visiting homes on the following streets from S Broad to S Evergreen: E. Curtis Ave, E Centre St, Aberdeen Place, Hopkins St, E Barber Ave, Railroad Ave, Green Ave and Union Street.

 

Volunteers will also be distributing fire safety information and talking to families about what they can do now to be prepared should a fire break out in their home. 

 

Red Cross volunteers will be identifiable by their uniforms and badges. Please feel free to request to see identification. For additional fire safety information, including free tools and resources, visit http://www.redcross.org/local/new-jersey/home-fire-safety.

It was brought to the City's attention that our recycling contractor received a load of recyclables that contained a propane tank. The tank was not discovered until the tank exploded on the processing line causing extensive damage to the facility. Luckily, they were able to put the fire out and no one got seriously injured.

Please be mindful of what you are disposing of. If you have a question about your trash or recyclables, you can contact our Public Works Department at 856-853-0892 or visit the City's website page at: http://www.woodbury.nj.us/city-departments/public-works-department/trash-recycling/, which details what the City will pick up and how other products can be disposed of safely.
