Who do we call when we see dead deer on the roadways?

Call the police non-emergency number, 732-873-5533, then dial “0” for the dispatcher. Be ready to give a location or the nearest intersection.  If the deer has “X” painted on its side, the call has already been made and they are waiting for transport.

The Mini Dump now has a dedicated dumpster for electronics, such as computers, printers, TV's, etc. Please separate these items and place them in the dumpster as directed by the gate person, as they are now being recycled.

Franklin Township contracts with Somerset County to provide curbside recycling services every other week. For more details on the program, consult the link below.
