Do Not Knock Registry
The Borough Council recently adopted a “Do Not Knock” Registry. The registry is similar to the “Do Not Call” list and prohibits solicitors from visiting any home listed on the registry.
All persons, business or organizations wishing to solicit in the Borough for any money, funds or contributions are required to obtain a permit. Upon permit approval, solicitors will be issued a permit card. Each solicitor is will be required to keep and display the permit. All solicitors are prohibited from soliciting at any location listed on the “Do Not Knock” Registry or from any location with a sign posted prohibiting solicitation.
For your protection, only addresses and expiration dates will appear on the “Do Not Knock” Registry. Properties will remain in the list for a one year period. If you would like your address to appear on the Do Not Knock Registry, please complete the Registry Application form below and mail it back to the Borough Office. If you would like a “Do Not Knock” Registry window cling, please include a self-address stamped envelope with the application form.
