Linden Police want to remind residents and organizations that there is a local ordinance prohibiting people from “canning” or “canistering” to raise funds while standing or walking in any roadways of the city.
The ordinance was passed by city council as a concern for public safety.
People can still “canister” at any locations of business in the city upon having permission from the business.
If anyone observes a violation of this ordinance, they can report it to the police department at 908-474-8500.
