The fliers were dropped late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, News12 New Jersey said.
Less than two percent of Lyndhurst's approximately 20,500 residents are black, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Whites comprise 71.6 percent of the southern Bergen County town's population.
In December, at least 75 KKK fliers were left on driveways in nearby Rutherford.
