The Township of Marlboro hereby establishes an "Online Exchange
Zone" for conducting in-person private transactions involving a Township
resident that have been facilitated through online marketplaces to
be located in an area of the Municipal Parking Lot of the Municipal
Complex located at 1979 Township Drive, Marlboro, New Jersey (to be
designated the "Exchange Zone").
Private exchange of motor vehicles, weapons or items that do
not fit in a ten-foot-by-ten-foot parking space shall not be permitted.
The Township encourages all persons to engage in such transactions
in daylight hours, only; to bring a cell phone along in case of an
emergency; to notify friends and/or family of the intention to meet
to conduct such a transaction; to never invite strangers to the home
or agree to meet at a stranger's home; and to reconsider any
transaction with someone who refuses to meet at the Municipal Complex.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish a safe space for the conduct of private transactions involving Township residents facilitated by online marketplaces. The conduct of any such transactions on the grounds of the Municipal Complex is strictly prohibited in the absence of a prior registration. Any violation of this chapter shall be subject to the general penalties established in §
4-3 of the Code of the Township of Marlboro.
