Leaf Blowers and the Law in New Jersey | Jersey News
Description
Waking up to a gas-powered leaf blower at dawn? In New Jersey, that’s not just annoying—it could be illegal. State law sets noise limits, but towns like Maplewood and Montclair have gone further, banning gas blowers outright and even facing lawsuits. Morristown’s voters pushed for electric alternatives to cut noise and pollution. While enforcement can be tricky, neighbors are encouraged to first talk it out—then report specific times if needed. These rules aren’t just about peace; they’re about protecting public health and keeping communities civil.
