Local services and rules

Moving to Fair Lawn: who to call and what the city asks.

Fair Lawn is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey. Rent control applies to all residential dwellings other than owner-occupied two family houses. A garage or yard sale needs no permit, but signs may not be posted in the 10 foot right of way, which includes telephone poles, bus stops, street signs and the grass area. Garbage collection takes 1 piece of furniture per collection, and a box spring or mattress counts as 1 item.

Parking rules and leaving a dumpster

Parking in a posted "No parking 8-10 am" zone requires calling the police non-emergency number, 201-796-1400, before parking. A temporary parking issue lasting less than 14 days can be handled by requesting permission through the police one-week parking link.

A permit is needed to leave a dumpster in the street.

Snow and ice on sidewalks and streets

Anyone in charge or control of a building or lot beside a sidewalk must clear ice or snow, or a path at least thirty inches wide, from the sidewalk. Throwing, placing or depositing snow or ice into or upon a street in the Borough of Fair Lawn is prohibited. Snow removal vehicles do not clear sidewalks or driveway aprons.

Borough snow removal vehicles plow each street curb to curb during each snowfall. Vehicles are asked to stay off cul-de-sacs and local municipal streets until the street has been completely cleared.

The Recycling Center at 20-05 Saddle River Road
