your help to find you in your time of need.

house numbers are visible. As per Township Ordinance 5-92, reflective or high-contrast numbers, at least 3" high, must
be posted at the end of your driveway, and be clearly visible from either direction, on the road.

Animal Control Services
As winter approaches, we will be faced with the struggle of keeping the outside outside, not only the cold
weather, but small animals as well. St. Hubert's Giralda, the Township's Animal Control Service provider, is available
to remove these animals for a fee. Small wildlife (squirrels, raccoons) that have gained access to your house, as well as
stray cats living in garages, barns, brush piles, etc., will be removed with cage traps.
Unfortunately, all unfamiliar animals must be assumed potentially to be infected with rabies, and
should be handled with care. For assistance, phone St. Hubert's directly at 908-526-3330.
