    Many questions regarding the use of public parks can be answered by the Town of Morristown’s Recreation Division.  If you would like to use a public park for your event, it is recommended your organization contact the Recreation Division at (973) 292-6717 prior to the Facilities Use Request Application submission.

    Event Details: Crowd Control, Sanitation & Litter Prevention

    Some events may require additional services to aid in successful operations. Always contract with a reputable vendor for rentals, portable restrooms, hand washing stations and crowd control barriers.

    • Contact vendors prior to an event to seek recommendations for number of portable restroom units based on your expected attendance.
    • Never place Accessible portable restrooms facing a curb. Always face towards an open area on a sidewalk or plaza for easy access.
    • Be aware of portable restroom placement in the business district.  Be considerate of businesses also conducting operations alongside your event, look for open areas not close to doors or windows.

    Be ready to clean-up!  The Town of Morristown’s Department of Public Works requires event organizers to submit a Litter Prevention Plan 14 days prior to an event. Contact the Clean Communities Program for more information (973) 644-4363.

    Litter Prevention Guidelines:

    • One (1) trash and one (1) recycling receptacle for every 4 booths or stations

    • Two (2) trash and two (2) recycling receptacles at every intersection the event is planned, to be placed on opposite sides of the street
    • Two (2) trash and two (2) recycling receptacles for every 250 or more people expected to attend.

    Event Details: Communications & Promotions

    Special events are a huge draw to a downtown; however, sometimes road closures and detours can affect regular business and community operations.  Upon approval from the Town of Morristown, Morristown Partnership recommends contacting our office at (973) 455-1133 with your road closure plans.  We can add your road closures to our notification list. In addition, we ask your event operations team or designated volunteers hand deliver any notifications to businesses or organizations on the immediate route.

    Once you have planned your event, be sure to add your event to the Morristown Partnership website. Click here to add your event.
