Snow Plowing
In the event of inclement winter weather, the Township Public Works crews provide snow removal services for the over 75 miles of Township roads. Morris County is responsible for snow removal on the two County roads - Route 24 and Tempe Wick Road. To contact the County Roads department call 973-285-6750.
To assist the Public Works Department in their snow removal services, residents are asked not to park vehicles on the street during snow or ice storms. Questions concerning snow removal services should be directed to the Public Works Department.
The Township's primary obligation is to ensure that its roadways are as clear as possible of snow and/or ice. It's also understood that most mailboxes are located within the public right-of-way, and therefore, while fulfilling the primary objective, mailboxes may be unintentionally and unavoidably damaged. This policy assumes there is a shared responsibility between the Township and the homeowner when mailboxes located in the public right-of-way are damaged during snow removal operations. While there is no legal requirement that the Township do so, it is the policy of the Township of Mendham to reimburse residents up to $50 for eligible damaged mailboxes, caused by direct plow contact on the part of the Township of Mendham Department of Public Works or their subcontractors.
