Ridgewood NJ, the Village of Ridgewood reminds you that due to inclement weather certain procedures should be followed .
REMINDERS ABOUT GARBAGE PICKUP DURING SNOW EVENTS
Our sanitation and recycling employees will be picking up garbage and recycling, as long as the road conditions permit them to do so. All garbage and recycling containers must be placed at the end of your driveways, and not in the street. The Village will resume rear yard garbage collection as quickly as possible after the snowstorm, but please continue to place your garbage cans at the end of your driveway, until you have a clear path to them. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our Village employees safe.
REMINDERS ABOUT SNOW REMOVAL
All sidewalks in residential districts must be cleared within 24 hours of the snow falling. Please do not place snow into the street; instead, place it back onto your own property. In addition, if you have a fire hydrant on your property, please clear it of any snow accumulation.
POWER OUTAGES
Due to icy conditions, there may be power outages. Please stay away from downed wires. Plan ahead and know where your flashlights are located. If you experience a power outage, please do not call the Police Department unless there is an emergency. Instead, please call PSE&G directly at 1-800-436-7734.
