WHAT’S HAPPENING IN MOONACHIE...
ALERT!! Traffic Advisories
Improving the infrastructure in Moonachie is a priority this
summer – lots of construction on our roadways.
Moonachie Ave is going to be under constant upheaval as
PSEG completes the link for a new electrical transmission
line. Construction will continue through November.
PSEG is also going to replace the gas lines in some of the
residential neighborhoods to make the lines resilient. Work
will start sometime in July. Since the gas lines are in the
roadways, there will be some minor inconveniences. You
will be individually notified when work starts in your neighborhood.
Industrial Ave will be paved in mid-July (let’s all hear that
sigh of relief!). Berger Street and Anderson Ave from the
Wood-Ridge train tracks to Concord Street will be paved at
the same time.
Patching of pot-holes continues once a week through July.
Storm drain repairs and rebuilds are also continuing.
Please be aware of the work crews and drive carefully.
Children are out for the summer so please watch for them
as we navigate around the roads.
Change in Garbage Collection
Twice a week garbage collection ends in September. Trash
will be collected on Sept 2, 8, 15, 22 and 29. There will
be no Thursday collection from September through
Memorial Day 2015.
Garbage Gossip
Here are some tips for garbage collection in Moonachie:
1. Garbage must be in cans or bags.
2. Garbage will be collected on Mondays from
September until Memorial Day. If a holiday falls on
a Monday, garbage will be collected on Tuesday.
3. If you put out metal, or electronics, yard waste or
recycling with your garbage, it will not be collected.
4. If you have bulky waste, put it out on Sunday night.
Wood must be cut and bundled, and nails have to
be bent down or removed.
5. No container (bag or barrel) can weigh more than
35 pounds.
6. If you have paint (latex only) you need to add sand
or kitty litter to absorb the liquid before you put it to
the curb.
7. If you have metal or electronics, put it out on
Wednesday night. The DPW will pick it up
on Thursday.
8. Yard waste gets collected on Wednesdays.
No plastic bags are allowed. Limbs must be cut into
4 foot lengths and tied.
9. If the roads are impassable due to weather
conditions, garbage will not be collected on the
regularly scheduled day. It will be picked up on the
next accessible day.

residents in her office asking for help, which she
cheerfully gave. Liz has been married to Mario
Bassani for the past 50 years. Mario served the
Borough as a Zoning Board member and a Board of

She worked part time for the Moonachie Board of
Education before she started at the Borough.
Her son, Russell, served as a Police Officer for the
Borough. Pat is looking forward to travelling
after she retires. Best wishes for a long and happy
retirement.

RESIDENT’S BEWARE
SCAM ALERTS
With the summer around the corner, it’s SCAM
TIME. With the warm weather here, so are the
contractors. The contractors will repair anything
and everything. Most contractors are licensed and
do a fine job. But there are a few that will take your
money and never start or complete the job. Here are
ways to avoid contractor scams.
Contractor Scam
1.
Get four references. Contractors will come
prepared with three references. Ask for four. And
for the fourth one, ask that they provide someone
who had to call them back to fix a problem with the
work. If the contractor fixed the problem to the
homeowner’s satisfaction, then you have a good
idea of what kind of work the contractor does and
whether the homeowner is satisfied.
2. Take precautions if you live alone. If you live
alone, have a family member or friend at your
house when you meet with potential contractors.
Before the contractor arrives, secure all of your
valuables, including paperwork that could facilitate
identity theft. After the contractor leaves, check all
of your doors and window to make sure they’re still
locked so no one can return later and gain easy
access to your house.
3. Check with the Better Business Bureau.
4. Verify contractors’ licenses.
5. Make sure the contractor is insured
6. Check with your local building department
about permits and inspections that may be needed
for the project.
7. Need supplies? In an ideal situation, the
contractor should buy the supplies. But if you do
purchase them, DON’T give the contractor your
money. Instead, meet the contractor at the supply
store and make the purchase, then have it delivered
to the site the day the materials are needed.
8. Proofread your contract and NEVER sign a
contract without all of the blanks filled in.
Other Scam’s to be aware of:
1. The Grandparent Scam. A grandparent
receives a frantic call from someone they believe to
be their grandchild. The supposed grandchild
sounds distressed and may be calling from a noisy
location. The supposed grandchild claims to be
involved in some type of trouble, such as being
arrested or in a car accident or needing emergency
car repairs, The scammer typically asks for several
thousand dollars, and may even call back again
several hours or days later asking for more money.
He or she may claim embarrassment about the
alleged trouble and ask the grandparent to keep it
a secret.
A variation of the scam may involve two scammers,
the first scammer calls and posing as some law
enforcement officer, then gets on the phone with the
grandparent and explains what fines need to be
paid. NO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY WILL
TAKE BAIL OVER THE TELEPHONE.

Burger King Cash-0-La will take a break for the
summer and return in the fall for the Municipal
Alliance monthly fundraising event.
As always, we are looking for volunteers to help
whenever possible. These hours can be used
for community service, your resume, and are
considered when applying to be a Moonachie
Recreation Counselor.
If you have any questions, you can call Alliance
Coordinator Mr. Facendola at (201) 206-8774.
