Signup for Do Not Solicit list
The Borough has adopted Ordinance 2021-07 (PDF) which permits residents to sign up to be registered on a “Do Not Solicit” list. All residents who register on the “Do-Not-Solicit” list may obtain a sticker from the Borough Clerk for display on their property warning that the property is on a Do Not Solicit list; however, display of a sticker is not required for enforcement of the “Do-Not-Solicit” ban. This ordinance makes it unlawful for a peddler, solicitor or canvasser to approach or seek personal contact with the occupant of any residence either at the residence or within the perimeter of the property if the residence is registered on the “Do-Not-Solicit” list. Please note that nonprofit, religious, and/or political groups canvassing exclusively door-to-door are exempt from the prohibitions of the ordinance. The Do Not Solicit list will be a permanent addition to the website so Solicitors can refer to it and always have the most current list available to them.
Register for the Do Not Solicit List here:
