March is Women’s History Month — a time to recognize the women who have shaped our nation and our own community. Before founding the American Red Cross, Clara Barton spent part of her early career right here in Bordentown, teaching and leaving a lasting mark through her dedication to education and service. Today, that legacy of leadership continues with strong women serving our community every day — including the dedicated female mayors leading both the Township and City. We honor her legacy and the countless women who continue to lead, serve, and strengthen our community every day.

Just a friendly community heads up for our Bordentown neighbors.
We’ve received guidance from Burlington County Health and the NJ Department of Environmental Protection regarding Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1), also known as bird flu, which primarily affects wild birds.
There is no cause for alarm locally. As a simple precaution, residents are encouraged to avoid feeding or handling wild birds and to use caution in areas where birds gather. This helps protect wildlife, pets, and our community.
If you see five or more sick or deceased birds in one area, please report it to NJ DEP Fish & Wildlife here: https://tinyurl.com/y2vvmxt3
Any questions? Contact Nicole at 609-298-4300 x2126 or nbencivengo@bordentowntownshippd.org.
A little awareness goes a long way. Thank you for helping keep Bordentown safe and healthy — for people, pets, and wildlife alike.

Hey neighbors — just a quick, friendly reminder!
Please avoid using snowblowers to push snow back into streets that have already been plowed. When snow gets pushed back into the roadway, it creates icy spots and means our Public Works crews have to go back out and redo areas they already cleared.
A little extra care goes a long way in keeping roads safe for everyone — and helps our crews keep moving through the Township efficiently.
Thanks so much for doing your part and looking out for one another.
A significant winter storm is expected, and we’re asking everyone to please stay safe and avoid the roads unless necessary. Our Public Works crew will be working around the clock to clear and treat roadways as conditions allow. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as crews work to keep our community safe. Friendly reminder: when safe, property owners are responsible for clearing snow and ice from the sidewalks in front of their homes. ‼️Please avoid using snowblowers to push snow back into streets that have already been plowed. Please continue to monitor official Township updates for any changes.
Updates for both RECYCLING and BULK PICKUP due to the upcoming snow:
→ Recycling collection will be delayed by one day. The new recycling date is Tuesday, February 24.
📢To allow Public Works crews to plow safely and prevent carts from freezing to the curb, please place recycling carts out after 6:00 AM on collection day and make sure carts and lids are clear of snow and ice.
→ Bulk pickup has been rescheduled to Friday, February 27.
Thank you for your cooperation as crews work to keep roads clear and services running safely.
