Warmer Days Mean More Wheels on the Road—But are They Legal?

The Clark Police Department wants parents and teens to know: not all electric bikes and scooters are street-legal, and many riders don’t even realize it. If a motorized bike can hit higher speeds, it may require a license, registration, and insurance—even if it looks like a regular e-bike.

With complaints on the rise, CPD is stepping up enforcement of Township Ordinance 347-65. These vehicles are now banned from sidewalks and all school and Township property.

Private property owners—including the Clark Commons, Target Shopping Center, and the soon-to-open Starbucks—are also supporting this effort by restricting use on their grounds to help keep everyone safe.

To help families better understand the rules, CPD has created a video you can watch and a handy guide below to explain which e-bikes are legal, what documents are required, and where they can be ridden.

Parents— check before they ride. Teens—know the rules before you roll.

Recycling Service Update: New Hauler Begins June 2025

We want to let you know about a small change to our recycling program. Beginning in June 2025, the Township will switch recycling haulers from Waste Management to Grand Sanitation. While the hauler is changing, almost everything else will remain the same:

Blue bins issued by the Township will still be used.
Zones One and Two will remain unchanged.
Recycling pick-up day will continue to be Wednesday.
The recycling schedule stays very close to the original, so you can continue to rely on your usual routine. The new schedule is below.

Two important improvements:
Starting in June, recycling will always be collected on Wednesdays, even during weeks with a Monday holiday. This is a change from the past practice of shifting pick-up days in holiday weeks to a Saturday.

Also Grand Sanitation now offers a dedicated email address Clark-recycles@grandsanitation.com—so residents can easily reach out directly with any concerns or questions. Full schedule for the remainder of 2025 is here:
