Inclement Winter Weather

Current Borough Ordinances prohibit the plowing or blowing of snow into Borough Roads.  Please refrain from doing this as it creates hazardous driving conditions for residents.

Christmas tree pick up will begin the second week of January 2010 weather permitting. Please have all trees curbside as the DPW will be making only one trip through the Borough.  For further information you may email Vera Crouthamel at vcrouthamel@florhamparkboro.net.
