With Pesach just a few weeks away, Lakewood Township and Ocean County officials met on Thursday to coordinate safety and logistics for related public activities, including trash drop-off sites, increased trash pickup, Biur Chometz locations and the permit/fire safety protocols for Lag Ba’omer bonfires.

Township Committeeman and Emergency Services Liaison Meir Lichtenstein; Police Chief Greg Meyer; Fire Chief Jonathan Yahr; Department of Public Works (DPW) Director Phil Roux; Ocean County Fire Marshal Dennis Allen; among other top officials in these agencies; reviewed tentative plans and exchanged ideas on how to further enhance the safety and practicality of these events.

The agencies will release detailed lists, times and protocols regarding these events and sites in the weeks ahead.

“Once again, it was inspiring to see Municipal and County agencies working together so professionally and effectively towards the common goal of how to best serve the people,” says Committeeman Lichtenstein. “We look forward to a safe and pleasant holiday season for all.”
