resident that have been facilitated through online marketplaces to
be located in an area of the Municipal Parking Lot of the Municipal
Building, as designated by visible and appropriate signage, at 530
West Hill Road, Glen Gardner, New Jersey, to be designated the Exchange
Zone.
Private exchange of motor vehicles, weapons, illegal substances
or items that do not fit in a ten-foot-by-ten-foot parking space shall
not be permitted.
A.
Township officials will not provide police personnel or Township
staff to witness any transaction in person, but the video recording
surveillance and proximity to police headquarters is meant to increase
the public's peace of mind when engaging in such transactions
with unfamiliar individuals in the Exchange Zone.
B.
The Township of Lebanon makes no guarantees, assurances, or promises
with respect to the condition or authenticity of any items exchanged
between private parties.

The Township of Lebanon makes no guarantees, assurances, or promises
as to the safety or security of any in-person transactions that may
take place on Township property.
D.
The Township of Lebanon makes no guarantees, assurances, or promises
as to availability of the Exchange Zone at any particular date or
time.
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 their
home or agree to meet at a stranger's home; and to reconsider
any transaction with someone who refuses to meet at the Municipal
Building Exchange Zone.
