DECEASED, INJURED WILDLIFE

Haworth is contracted with the County to retrieve and remove animal remains and injured wildlife from both private and Borough property. However, due to recent unacceptable delays, we have changed our protocols. 

If you have a dead or injured animal on your property, please notify the DPW immediately at 

(201) 384-1037 and/or dpw@haworthnj.org. They will remove it within 24 hours and bring it to the DPW yard to await Bergen County Animal Control pick-up. 

PLEASE NOTE that DPW hours are 7:00am-3:00pm Monday through Friday.

If you have an emergency involving an animal outside of these hours you can call the police number listed above or email the mayor for immediate assistance.

 

SENIOR VAN

Safe transportation provided for senior residents with no other means of transport.

VOLUNTEERING

Haworth is the thriving community that it is, largely because of the culture of volunteerism that allows it to flourish. From groups such as the Tennis Committee and Arts Committee, to the Board of Health and Police Auxiliary, we cannot be who we are without the time and passionate commitment of our people. Haworth Day, Pickleball, Town Cleanup Day, The Scout programs, Parks & Playgrounds, The Ambulance Corps & Fire Department, Friends of the Library and much, much more. Take a look around at what makes Haworth special to you and your family. Chances are its fueled by volunteers. If you’d like to bring your talents & energy please let us know. There is a way for you to contribute. 

 

Thank you and enjoy the remaining days of summer!

Your Mayor and Council
