Census Bureau Extends Self-Response Deadline

US Census Bureau Extends Self-Response Deadline

It's not too late to complete your census form! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Census Bureau has extended the self-response deadline for 2020 US Census. Although residents still have time to complete the census, the City of Margate urges you to complete the form as soon as possible. 

There are three easy ways to complete the form:

  • Online: If you did not complete the Census prior to April 1, you probably received a paper form in the mail, but you can still do it online. Go to my2020census.gov
  • By phone: If you prefer to complete the census by phone, call (844) 330-2020 today! There are 13 languages available to complete the census by phone. Call today!
  • By Mail: If you haven’t completed your 2020 Census, you've probably received a second form. If you've misplaced your census form, you can call to request a hard copy form mailed to you in over 59 languages. 
It's easy, safe and it's confidential to respond to the census. Help Margate reach a response rate of 100%. Everyone counts in Margate! Complete your form today!

Do Not Flush Wipes

Only Flush the 3-Ps (Pee, Poop, and Paper!)

As a reminder, please do not flush disinfecting wipes, baby wipes, paper towels, tissues, feminine hygiene products or anything else down the toilet. Although many wipes claim to be "flushable", they generally are not and should NOT be flushed. Doing so will cause a plumbing problem at your home or further down the line. 

PLEASE DISPOSE OF THESE ITEMS IN YOUR GARBAGE


Please only flush the 3-Ps - pee, poop and (toilet) paper. Thank you for your assistance. For more information, please visit https://www.margatefl.com/293/Solid-Waste-Recycling
