EBTV Might Be East Brunswick’s Most Underrated Gem
East Brunswick’s municipal television station has been filming the town since the 1970s. Its public archive now holds more than 6,000 videos — including 1,855 episodes of This Week in East Brunswick, an exercise show called Look Great, Feel Great!, and silent aerial footage of Route 18 from around 1982. And it is still covering council meetings, high school sports and community events today.
East Brunswick Used to Hold Town Council Candidate Forums. Why Not One in 2026?
East Brunswick held Town Council candidate forums for decades — at the public library, in the council chambers, on EBTV. The last one was in 2022. There was none during the 2024 municipal election, and none is currently scheduled for the November 2026 council race. The Board of Education’s Meet the Candidates Night, meanwhile, is set for September 30. There is still time to organize something for the council candidates. Why not?
What Happened to East Brunswick’s Redistricting Discussion?
A year ago, with no study in hand, every candidate at a public forum was asked about elementary redistricting. The district has since done the study. Now, in another election, the issue has largely disappeared from the public conversation.

Every East Brunswick varsity sport, August 30 through September 5, 2026.
The Fights, the Money and What Happens When the Mountain Stops Growing
East Brunswick has been paid for hosting the landfill every year since 1985 — about $4.5 million in 2026. It has also been on the receiving end of thirty years of odour complaints, a withdrawn plan to dig up old waste, two federal settlements and a school evacuation nearly four miles away. The final part of a four-part Eyes on EB series.
The Landfill That Actually Did Close
The original Edgeboro landfill had a legal end date written into a state permit in January 1984: December 31, 1992. It did not operate beyond it. It was capped, and it is still there — underneath a second landfill, separately permitted, built on top of it. Part 3 of a four-part Eyes on EB series.
