Glen Rock NJ, Glen Rock Mayor Bruce Packer commented on Facebook on Glen Rock wanting to ban “noisy” early morning garbage pick up .
“After receiving a number of complaints in recent months, I have asked the council to consider an ordinance that would ban commercial trash pickup during overnight hours.
The ordinance passed its first reading at our last public meeting and will have its second reading and public hearing at our September 12th meeting which begins at 8pm. Feel free to join us if you would like to be heard on this issue. Note that an initial version of this ordinance had pickup beginning at 8am but we moved it to 6am to minimize potential traffic and parking issues.
I do thank the council for their consideration on this.”
