Future alterations to municipal buildings

Dear Elmwood Park Residents,

In anticipation of being able to reopen our Borough buildings, at some point, hopefully in the near future, we will be taking steps towards making our building safer for our employees and residents. This will include making minor alterations to our facilities.

Some of the changes will be as follows:

  • Adding protective plexiglass barriers in offices that interact with the public, where barriers do not currently exist.
  • Adding additional automatic hand sanitizer stations throughout our buildings.
  • Installing automatic light switches.
  • Change out high point touch areas in bathrooms, such as sinks, hand dryers, toilets and paper towels dispensers, to motion activated fixtures.

In the meantime, while still closed to the public, our offices are still operating. If you need assistance from any of our departments, please call Borough Hall at 201-796-1457.

Please see a list of extensions below:

  • Mayor's Office: Ext. 224 or 106

ASEZ STAR student volunteers spark community pride with Spring cleanup in Elmwood Park

ASEZ STAR STUDENT VOLUNTEERS SPARK COMMUNITY PRIDE WITH SPRING CLEANUP IN ELMWOOD PARK
30 Youth Volunteers Join Forces with Borough Officials to Beautify Their Town as Part of the Global “Green World Project”

Elmwood Park, NJ — When the weather warms up, most teens are reluctant to dive into spring cleaning—but not the students of the World Mission Society Church of God. On Sunday, May 4, 30 volunteers from ASEZ STAR (Save the Earth from A to Z) took to multiple sites across Elmwood Park to clean up litter and refresh public spaces, bringing renewed energy and pride to the community.

Mayor Robert Colletti and Councilwoman Lorraine Pellegrine were also present at the cleanup to thank the volunteers personally, expressing their appreciation for the students’ hard work and dedication to keeping Elmwood Park clean and beautiful.

The effort was organized in partnership with the Elmwood Park Borough Council and is part of ASEZ STAR’s global Green World Project, which encourages young students to take the lead in environmental action—right in their own neighborhoods.

“It was exciting to take part in our first ASEZ STAR event with the town,” said Jaden Harris, a high school student. “We found a lot of broken glass in the grass, and it made me realize how even small things can affect a community. Helping to clean that up felt like we were doing something that truly matters.”

From sidewalks to local green spaces, students removed debris, collected trash, and restored a sense of cleanliness and care to the town—just in time for spring. The initiative reflects ASEZ STAR’s mission to empower middle and high school youth to become responsible citizens through service and education. It also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including climate action and sustainable cities.

Local residents and borough officials praised the volunteers’ commitment, noting the positive example they set for their peers and the lasting impact of their service.
