Marlboro Twp. Internet Exchange Zone Now Open

MARLBORO TOWNSHIP, NJ - The Marlboro Township online Internet exchange zone is now open. The zone is located in the Municipal parking lot at 1979 Township Drive, just off Rt. 18 and Wyncrest Road. It is indicated by green striping and an ‘Internet Exchange Zone’ sign.

The zone is well lit and under 24/7 surveillance. To use the zone, one party must be a Marlboro Township resident. Many towns are now launching safe space Internet exchange zones, especially after a resident in Highlands was held up at gunpoint in their home Dec. 12 after they arranged a Craigslist sale.

Prior to the transaction, the resident registers using a link on the Township website HERE. Transaction regulations and item restrictions are detailed on the registration page.

Monmouth County towns with and without safe Internet sale zones:

Hazlet: Hazlet Township has a designated safe exchange zone in the parking lot next to the police department. It is marked with signs and is under video surveillance.

Holmdel currently does not.

Rumson: Rumson currently does not, but is looking into it, police tell Patch.

Aberdeen/Matawan: Aberdeen Township does not have one, but Police Chief John Powers said they are exploring establishing one in the future. A new video surveillance system was installed at Town Hall last year.
