Mayor's Message

Mayor's Monthly Message - November 2024

On November 11th, we celebrated and honored our Veterans. These men and women are our true heroes, It’s important that we honor our Veterans, not just on November 11, but on any day of the year. Most of all, let our Veterans know how much they mean to you.

Thanksgiving, November 28th, a day in which we give thanks, also begins the unofficial start of the holiday season. Deptford Township has many things to be thankful for in our community this time of year. We are the center of shopping, dining and entertainment!  Santa will arrive at the Deptford Mall Saturday, November 16th at 10:45 a.m. for a parade. Mark your calendars and bring the family and remember to “shop local” during the holiday season.  Let’s continue to support Deptford businesses, who in turn help keep our tax rate down.

Our Fall Leaf Collection Schedule for 2024 is available online under the Public Works Section.   Public Works crews have started picking up leaves throughout town. Reminder, each section of town is scheduled by zones, so please check your zoned area for leaf pickup. As always, we ask for your help and to please not rake your leaves in the middle of the street, as this is dangerous and counterproductive for our Public Works crews. Place branches in piles separately so the vacuum trucks will not get clogged. We thank you for your cooperation and patience.

Keep an eye out for upcoming Youth Recreation registrations/signups on social media for Deptford Basketball, Softball, Soccer, Little League, Football and Cheerleading, Oak Valley Athletic Association, (baseball, softball, basketball) Wrestling, Cub Scouts and Boy and Girl Scouts.  These organizations are great for building friendships, team spirit and just enjoying what our Town and volunteers offer our youth.  

Pickleball is now indoors at the Recreation Center located at 52 Montague Lane.  Our pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports and we have moved inside for the winter.  Come join our team and learn to play this great activity, just contact the Recreation Department. Our Recreation Department can be reached at 856-845-0804 or by email:   deptfordparksandrec@deptford-nj.org  for more information.

Remembering all of our men and women in uniform, past, present and future.  God bless you and thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family.
