Ridgewood NJ the Village of Ridgewood list of resident reminders during a winter snow event .
REMINDERS ABOUT VILLAGE SERVICES AND SNOW
We are experiencing a snow event today, which will change over to a mixture of snow/sleet/rain. There is a high chance of roadways freezing tonight. Tomorrow’s temperatures will be pleasant, so most of the snow/ice will probably melt during the day. Please stay off the roads this evening, so that our crews can do their work. Overnight parking on the street will not be allowed tonight, Wednesday, February 20th.
REMINDERS ABOUT GARBAGE PICKUP DURING SNOW EVENTS
As a reminder, if it is snowing when you leave your home in the morning or if it is icy, please place your garbage cans at the end of your driveway for collection. The Village will resume rear yard garbage collection as quickly as possible after the snowstorm, but please continue to put 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.
