STREET SWEEPING

The street sweeping program is responsibility for the cleaning of all Borough streets. The positive feature of street cleaning includes safety, economy and community appearance.

Depending on manpower available the department’s goal is to have every street cleaned once a month from March 1 to October 31.

STREET LIGHTS

To report streetlight outage or any other streetlight repair call the Public Works Department at 856-783-1848. The Public Works Department relies heavily on the public to inform us when a street lights have burned out.

SHADE TREE DIVISION

The Shade Tree division’s responsibility includes planting, removing, maintaining, trimming and protecting trees located on Borough public property and curbside.

It is the division’s policy to try and preserve as many trees as possible within the Boroughs limits.

To request a tree to be removed or trimmed call the Public Works department at 856-783-1848. Our staff will print out a work order and someone will be sent out to inspect the problem.

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL

Guidelines:

1. Do not park cars on the street in anticipation of a snow storm. This speeds the removal process and prevents cars from being plowed in.
2. When shoveling snow from driveways, please place snow to the right of the driveway in the direction the snow plow is moving. This will minimize the amount of snow pushed back into the driveway.
3. As snow rolls off the plows, it sometimes accumulates in the driveway aprons. Please understand that this unavoidable and it is the homeowner’s responsibility to clean it.
4. For your convenience, please do not shovel driveways until plowing operations have been completed.
5. Shovel and/or blow snow into the curb, not into the street.
6. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to remove snow from the sidewalks.

In the event of deep snow, please shovel around your mailbox and fire hydrant near your house. There are a number of County roads within the Borough, They are maintained by the Camden County Highway Department. If you have concerns about maintenance or snow removal on a county road, please contact the Camden County Highway Department at 856-566-2980.
