DPW: Happy Holidays from Public Works!

Safety is the main concern of Middlesex Borough during the winter months. The Public Works Department provides de-icing and snow removal whenever road conditions call for these services. Please remember snow removal is performed under emergency conditions and our drivers experience extended hours of work to provide safe roads for our residents. The following items are what our residents should be mindful of during the winter months:

  • Do not deposit leaves in the roadway. Please make every attempt to keep storm drains clear of snow or leaves.

  • Do not park on snow covered roads. Our police department will be enforcing this during snow events.

  • Do not place garbage cans in the street. Objects in the roadway are our biggest deterrent for efficient plowing operations.

  • Remove all basketball posts that are in the road or within the right of way.

  • Please do not blow snow onto plowed roadways. This creates hazardous road conditions.

During snow storms our first priority is to open main roads to provide safe access for emergency vehicles and maintain safe traffic. Plows will continue to clear all streets until every road is safe to travel. Also keep in mind that during these storms, vehicle breakdowns ultimately occur. Your patience during these snow events is greatly appreciated.

We are constantly monitoring the safety of our roads. Please feel free to call us at 732-968-1603 or visit us online at our borough website to report any Public Works related issues. We will address all concerns in a timely manner.


Reminders:

  • Bulk has ended for 2023. Please do not place free items randomly at the curb.

  • Leaf collection ends the last Wednesday of December 2023

  • Christmas trees will be picked up starting the first Wednesday in January 2023.

  • Leaf bags are still available at Recycle Center with coupon while supplies last.

On behalf of our DPW family have a safe and Happy Holiday Season!
