Reminder to be aware prior to accepting offers of "Free Fill/Soil" 
Byram Township wants to alert all residents and property owners of two incidents regarding truck deliveries of soil/fill without permits or certification of clean fill.
The Township has a soil importation ordinance (Chapter 210 Soil/Fill Placement ) in place to ensure soil movement operations and filling operations must be conceived and operated in such a way that there will be no appreciable harmful effects to the environment.

Please do not accept “Free Fill/Soil” from any post on Facebook or other social media or accept any soil without a certification of clean fill. Certified fill/soil is not free.
The fine for noncompliance with the ordinance is insignificant compared to the cost of having contaminated soil removed.
If you have questions, please contact the Township's Zoning Officer at: (973) 347-2500 x131
