The Howell Township, in conjunction with the Fire Bureau and Askonim, has once again arranged for one central location for all chometz burning in a designated dumpster (sponsored once again by Wynn’s Bins).

The designated location will be in an open park with ample parking to avoid traffic issues, and will be staffed with fire, DPW and Chaveirim personnel to ensure for a smooth and efficient event.

The location will be Soldier Memorial Park on Lakewood-Farmingdale Road on Friday, April 1, 2025 from 8:30am to 12:00pm.

In addition to the protocols and supervision on the part of government agencies, it is imperative that individuals and families utilizing these sites follow proper safety guidelines, in order to avoid potential injuries or other dangers.

Some pertinent guidelines are as follows:

1) Maintain a proper distance from the fire, per the directives of officials onsite.
2) Children must be under constant adult supervision.
3) The fire is for the burning of appropriate food items only. No cans, bottles, plastic, Lulav cases, garbage, or similar items can be thrown into the fire. Burning these items present a true danger to everyone nearby.
