Millburn Snow Shoveling: Who Is Responsible, When Does It Need To Happen?

MILLBURN, NJ — As the winter months close their icy grip on the Essex County region, many Millburn residents will find themselves facing one of December’s most-dreaded chores: shoveling snow.

Here are a few points to keep in mind as you grab those shovels, Millburn. According to the township code:

• The owner or occupant of land abutting upon any street in the Township shall remove all snow or ice from the sidewalks, public pathways and gutters in front of his/her premises within eight (8) hours of daylight after the same has formed or fallen thereon.
• No person, including the owner or occupant of any premises abutting on any street, shall throw, place or deposit any snow or ice into or upon any street in the Township except such as falls upon or is formed upon that portion of the property so abutting such street lying within the sidewalk lines thereof.
