“The Board of Commissioners is grateful that we are able to offer this program to our senior residents who may not be able to remove snow from their sidewalks,” said Commissioner Jonathan Young, liaison to the Department of Public Safety. “Due to the upcoming snowstorm, we anticipate demand for the program to be very high, as such we ask our residents to explore alternate options of snow removal, like asking a neighbor or family member for help. This program is not meant to replace normal means of snow clearing, and should be treated as a last resort”
The Senior Snow Removal Hotline will be open for 24 hours following a minimum of four inches of snow accumulation. To be added to the list, residents can call (856)-783-4808 ext. 5035 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Calls to other extensions/emails will not be answered.
