• Generally sweeping is the 2nd and 3rd full weeks of the month.
• Please refrain from parking on borough streets during this time period so that the Sweeper can do a thorough job on our streets.

Snow Alert and Removal

The Borough of Berlin has a snow removal ordinance for residents when there are two inches of snow or more.  Ordinance 63:2 states no vehicle may be parked on a public street in Berlin Borough after two inches of snow or more, and is in effect for 72 hours after a snow storm.  This is for the safety of residents and also Borough workers during this period. Residents should prepare in advance for adverse weather conditions and to avoid citations.

During a snowstorm, it is important that all borough streets are plowed curb to curb.  Initially, the Public Works Department opens the center of all Borough streets.  Once this is accomplished, the drivers are then instructed to clean the streets curb to curb.  Therefore, when cleaning your driveways, do not shovel out to the center of the street since the plows will be back.
