has on our environment and the appearances of the town.

Mayor Owen Henry

Spring is in the air here in Old Bridge Township. Hopefully, the winter is behind us, and we can look forward to spending time outside and enjoying the warmer weather.

Mayor Henry’s Clean Team will kick off the litter program on Saturday, April 1st. Any nonprofit organizations who are interested in participating should contact the Clean Communities Coordinator at (732) 721-5600 x6107, or by emailing Recycling@ OldBridge.com. Volunteers will be cleaning up local roadways on various weekends now through November. Please slowdown in our town and drive with care. Let’s also make a difference by educating others about the negative impact that litter

The Parks and Recreation Department is in full spring mode getting our parks, fields, and courts in top condition for the upcoming season. The spring brochure is currently available and filled with programs for all age groups. The department is also looking for summer camp employees for Camp Robin, Full Day Summer Camp, and Half Day Summer Camp. Please visit oldbridge.com/ recreation to view the job vacancies, classes, activities, and recreational opportunities Old Bridge has to offer.

“Play Ball!” Nothing says “Spring” like the sound of a bat hitting a home run and the crowd cheering the player on. I am excited to participate in several little league opening day ceremonies happening around our community. Our baseball fields and soccer fields are ready for action and our athletes are anxious to play. I look forward to seeing everyone at the opening ceremonies. Round one of spring leaf collection will begin the week of Monday April 17th in all wards. Round two will be the week of May 1st. As a reminder, all leaves must be contained in paper leaf bags as plastic bags are no longer accepted. We will spend a few days in each ward and appreciate your patience while collection is underway. For the full schedule, please visit oldbridge.com/recycling.

I hope to see all our residents taking advantage of the many activities Old Bridge has to offer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our coaches, parents and volunteers that work so hard to keep our children active and safe. Finally, I would like to wish everyone a Ramadan Mubarak, Happy Passover and Blessed Easter season. Please continue to stay safe and be well.
