Tired Of Solicitors? Join Millburn's Do Not Knock List

MILLBURN, NJ - Those who are tired of solicitors knocking on their doors have an option to repel them thanks to the Township of Millburn.

According to officials, Millburn operates a Do Not Knock list for residents who wish to opt out of door-to-door solicitation.

To join the list, visit the website and register your address.

According to officials, all Door-to-Door Solicitors must be licensed by the Township of Millburn, and must have their Township-issued Solicitation Permit with them when soliciting. Once registered, Do Not Knock decals will be available for pickup at Customer Service in Town Hall.

Door-to-Door solicitors may not approach any address on the Do Not Knock list. It is the responsibility of the solicitor to obey the Township's regulations and abide by the "Do Not Knock" list. Canvassers may obtain the "Do Not Knock" list by e-mailing lmcloughlin@millburntwp.org and mflizack@millburntwp.org and a hard copy of the list may be requested at Millburn Town Hall in Customer Service or in the Clerk’s Office.

The list will be current as of the last 30 days and canvassers are responsible for obtaining a current "Do Not Knock" list.

Officials note non-commercial, religious, and/or political canvassers and solicitors protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution are permitted to perform those activities from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and weekends.

These groups, such as political campaigners or religious advocacy groups, are not bound by the rules stated in the Township's Do Not Knock Ordinance.
