Bloomfield DPW: If Weekend Snow Comes, Here’s What To Do

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — If the snow hits in Bloomfield, the township’s snow removal team is ready, officials say. That was Friday’s message from municipal officials as weather forecasters call for a "winter weather advisory" in North Jersey.

According to a Bloomfield Department of Public Works news release:

“Our latest specialized weather forecast is calling for a possibility of 2 to 5 inches of snow, starting sometime between 5 and 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. We have been prepared for snow since October and are ready to salt and plow if and when needed.

“At this point, if it becomes a plowing event we ask that if you have a driveway, please utilize it, as it makes plowing much more efficient and safe. We also request that if you have a portable basketball rim on the street, that you remove it so our plows can do their job.

“We realize tomorrow is a shopping day for many and we will do our best to get the streets accessible as soon as possible.

“Please note that our DPW Recycling Depot (230 Grove St.) will be open as scheduled tomorrow between 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and garbage pickup is on as scheduled.

Bloomfield residents with questions, issues or service requests can call the DPW at 973-680-4127.
