Do Not Want Solicitors? Sign Up For East Brunswick’s Do Not Knock Registry

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ – If you do not want door-to-door salespeople disturbing your peace and quiet, you now have a way to prevent them from knocking at your door.

The Township and police department are reminding residents that they have the option to be relieved from unsolicited or non-subscribed, printed commercial material at their residence, by signing up for the ‘Do Not Knock” registry.

Pursuant to Township Code 135-23.2, this includes general solicitations, hawking, inquiries, and general disturbances from commercial solicitors, itinerant peddlers, hawkers, and canvassers.

“The township wants to remind residents of how sacred their homes and privacy are. As a result, we encourage residents to register their properties on the town’s Do Not Knock Registry to avoid unwanted solicitation,” Township Clerk Tamar Lawful said.

The “Do Not Knock” registry does not apply to political, social, or religious groups who are asking for non-financial support.

"Permits to solicit business in the Township of East Brunswick must be submitted and approved through the Township Clerk's office," Police Chief Frank LoSacco said.

"If someone shows up at your door, without a permit, please contact the Police department immediately."
