Donate school supplies
The Office of Constituent Services has partnered with non-profit FamilyHood to collect school supplies for residents in need.
Donations of crayons, pencils, pens, markers, folders, backpacks, binders, glue, notebooks, and highlighters can be dropped off at Hoboken City Hall at 94 Washington St. between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, until Aug. 14.
Help eliminate rodents
The Division of Health and the Division of Sanitation work with other City divisions and departments, as well as residents, businesses, private contractors, and utility companies to mitigate the rodent population in Hoboken. This is done through inspections, surveys, identification of food sources, and more.
Residents can also help curb rodent activity by eliminating rodent food sources and habitats from their properties.
Residents should:
- Keep garbage in covered containers, pick up pet waste, and not litter to eliminate rodent food sources.
- Flatten and secure cardboard and remove weeds and overgrown vegetation to eliminate rodent habitats.
- Report rodent activity via email to [email protected].
