Tax Bill Notice:
Tax bills were mailed out on Thursday, October 3rd. The 3rd quarter payment is due by October 28th. If the 3rd quarter payment is received AFTER October 28th, interest will be calculated back to August 1st.
For anyone who has paid toward your 3rd quarter, your account was credited for the amount paid with any overpayment credited to your 4th quarter. Please double check the amounts owed.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and your payments. Many municipalities in the state are facing a difficult budget year and next year doesn’t look much better. Through cooperation with all City entities, we were able to lower taxes for the second year in a row.

Tree Pruning:
Public Works will be trimming tree limbs that overhang roadways to a height of 10 feet above the road. This pruning project is to provide clearance for street sweeping operations.
The State of New Jersey has mandated that all streets be swept at least 4 times a year. In an effort to save taxpayer money, the City of Beverly and the Township of Delanco entered into a shared service agreement to purchase a street sweeper. By sharing the cost of the sweeper and ongoing maintenance costs, the City saved taxpayers almost $200,000.
Some of you may have already seen the street sweeper in your neighborhood as we test it on area roads. Once we establish a sweeping program, residents will be given the opportunity to move their vehicles prior to sweeping operations.
Why prune the trees? We need to get the sweeper close to the curb and we have to ensure the sweeper doesn’t come in contact with overhead obstructions. Any damage that occurs to the street sweeper while City employees are operating it is 100% our cost for the repairs.
Yard Waste Notice:
The City can not pick up yard waste in anything other than clear bags. Please do not use black or green contractor’s bags nor the brown paper leaf bags for your yard waste.
Do not mix sticks, vines, nor trash in with your grass clippings and leaves. These items should be placed in your regular trash collection with the exception of branches and tree limbs.
Chipping of brush will be moving to Tuesdays, beginning on Tuesday, March 5th, weather permitting. Please do not park in front of brush left curbside for chipping. Public Works will not drag tree limbs around vehicles.
Please make sure all brush is facing the same direction. Brush piles that are tangled, mixed with vines or other debris, will not be chipped. This is for the safety of our personnel and the efficiency of operation.
Brush to be chipped should be no less than four (4) feet in length and no more than six (6) inches in diameter. We cannot take stumps or bamboo. If you or someone you hire cut down any trees, you are required to make arrangements for the removal of the material. The City will no longer chip brush left from tree removal and/or lot clearing.
Brush chipping operations are only for general property maintenance and storm debris. Piles of brush should be neatly stacked, and single piles shall not exceed 3 feet in height, and 12 feet in length per week. At no time, shall brush block sidewalks or travel lanes of roadways.
Grass and leaves, in clear bags, are picked up on Mondays & Fridays and chipping operations are on Tuesdays from the first week of March through mid October; weather permitting.
Home Improvement Program:
No payments required for as long as you own your home.
