Important Snow Storm Announcement:With the approaching Monday and Tuesday snowstorm, please make every effort to park as many of your vehicles off the Borough streets. Squeeze as many as possible in your own driveway and also ask a neighbor if you can share an available spot in their driveway.
Please take note of the Emergency No Parking Route posted around town that must be kept clear as soon as the storm begins. Emergency personnel need those routes for safe travel. DPW crews will be working around the clock to keep the roads salted and plowed. When you are shoveling or cleaning cars off, please keep the snow on your front lawns or piled on your grass along the curb line. Do not throw snow into the street. Stay tuned for Reverse 911 calls, Facebook posts, Nixel posts and our carlstadtnj.us website for updates. Thank you and be safe! Also, please register for Nixle and Swift Reverse 911 alerts through the icons on this homepage Due to inclement weather Carlstadt Little League registrations scheduled for Saturday Janaury 24th have been rescheduled for January 31st from 10am-1pm @ the Carlstadt Public School.

Carlstadt
receives $85,000 recycling grant from NJDEP
The Borough of Carlstadt received a $85,576.71 grant based
on its 2012 recycling program that collected 29,000 tons of material ranking it
second in Bergen County and fifth in the state, officials announced today.
This latest award brings the three year total received by the Borough to $252,298.25. The funds are used to invest in and offset the costs of Carlstadt’s existing recycling program including salaries, and maintenance.
“This latest grant is an excellent example of money well-spent and a recycling program well-run,” said Council President Craig Lahullier. “Year-after-year Carlstadt ranks near the top of municipalities statewide in terms of recycling and that allows us to continue to invest in our program for the benefit of our economy and our environment.”
Councilman Dave Stoltz, the Borough Council’s liaison to the recycling program said the grant is a recognition of excellence by the department which should be an example for other municipalities.
“I am proud of the work that our people do every day,” said Stoltz. “Every year we receive significant funds back from the New Jersey DEP and that doesn’t happen with a half-hearted effort -- our recycling program is a success because of extraordinary work done by extraordinary people.
