Give Your Pumpkin a New Purpose! 🎃
Did you know that over 1 billion pounds of pumpkins in the U.S. end up in landfills each fall — that’s more than 80% of what’s bought for Halloween! Instead of letting yours rot with the rest, bring it to Bordentown’s Pumpkin Drive and help give it a second life.
📅 When: November 1 – 30
📍 Drop-Off Locations:
209 Crosswicks Street (next to Gilder Field) – Bordentown City
266 Crosswicks Road – Bordentown Township
🛑 Please drop off only clean, undecorated pumpkins — no paint, candles, glitter, or wax.
🌱 Your pumpkins will be composted or repurposed locally, keeping them out of the landfill and putting nutrients back into the earth.
Together, we can keep our community clean, green, and thriving — one pumpkin at a time! 💚

🚨 Hydrant Flushing Starts Tomorrow – Tuesday, October 7th!
The Water Department will begin its Fall Hydrant Flushing Program tomorrow throughout the City and Township.
💡 Tips to help during flushing:
-If your water looks discolored, run the cold tap for a few minutes until it clears.
-Try to avoid using hot water until the discoloration goes away, so sediment doesn’t enter your water heater.
-If possible, plan household tasks like laundry, dishwashing, or bathing around the posted flushing schedule.
✅ Flushing helps maintain water quality, removes sediment, and ensures hydrants are ready for fire protection.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation!!

Today, we proudly recognize and thank Sergeant Jason Archer as he retires from the City of Bordentown Police Department, closing out a remarkable career of service to both his country and his community.
Born and raised in Bordentown, Jason’s commitment to service began right after high school when he enlisted in the U.S. Army in November 1999. He went on to serve in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (2004–2005), and later deployed to Iraq (2008–2009), before concluding his military service in February 2011.
In 2007, Jason graduated from the Burlington County Police Academy (Class 93) and went on to serve as a patrolman for 14 years. In 2021, he was promoted to Sergeant, a role in which he continued to demonstrate strong leadership and dedication.
Since 2011, Jason has served as the department’s Firearms Instructor, shaping the skills of countless officers. He also served as an Active Shooter Instructor and took part in extensive advanced training, including Tactical Rifle School (2019), SWAT School (2021), and the FBI Sniper School (2022). In addition, he took on the important role of the City’s Animal Cruelty Officer.
Jason has been married to his wife, Kelli, for 17 years, and together they are raising their 13-year-old daughter, Kaydence. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time outdoors and is an avid hunter.
Though he will be greatly missed here in Bordentown, Jason is not finished serving. He and his family plan to relocate to Georgia, where he will continue his calling at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) as a Firearms and Active Shooter Instructor.
Please join us in thanking Sergeant Archer for his many years of service to both our country and our city. We wish him and his family all the best in this next exciting chapter.
