SHOVELING
Please make sure to shovel your sidewalks following the storm to ensure safety for pedestrians. Sidewalks must be shoveled within 24 hours after the snowfall has ended.
Please do NOT throw snow into the street when clearing your property. The Township code prohibits casting snow onto Township roadways.
If you live near a fire hydrant, please help the Fire Department and your neighbors, by shoveling around the hydrant. This could be a life saving measure!
North Brunswick Township is seeking residents, 16 years old and older (including students), to volunteer in assisting disabled senior citizens following the upcoming winter storm on Sunday with snow shoveling.
Please be advised that this is for seniors with emergency needs ONLY for snow shoveling. Residents are advised to check on their senior neighbors to see if they need any assistance.
Volunteers should contact Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Services LouAnn Benson at lbenson@northbrunswicknj.gov if interested. Please indicate your address so we can match you with the closest disabled senior resident in your neighborhood.
Community Service letters can be provided to students.
