Now is a good time to review the Township's snow removal regulations which can be found on our website at https://www.teanecknj.gov/ and the Teaneck Times Recycling Calendar at https://www.teanecknj.gov/media/Documents/Public%20Works/Recycling%20Calendar%202024%20final.pdf
REMINDER - Parking of any vehicle on any portion of a public street is prohibited whenever snow is falling and the accumulation is such that it covers the public streets in the township and plowing is required, except where designated.
The term "snow" includes sleet, hail and/or ice. Before storms begin, the main streets will be pre-treated with an environmentally safe solution that reduces the temperature at which snow freezes. During storms, snowplows will concentrate on keeping two lanes clear on every street. After storms, plows will return to widen the streets curb line to curb line.
PLEASE wait to do your final clean-up after the streets are cleared, which is typically six (6) to eight (8) hours after the storm is over.
For additional off-street parking, residents are encouraged to use any of the municipal parking lots. Beginning six hours before snow fall is predicted to start and until 24 hours after snow fall has stopped, all hourly limits and meter fees in Township lots are waived.
Please refer to the Township's website: www.teanecknj.gov for the list of municipal parking lots and authorized parking areas.

As per Township of Teaneck Code, Section 32-6, residents, property owners, and managers must remove snow and ice from public sidewalks in a timely manner. Commercial property owners/tenants must remove such within 12 hours after snowfall stops. Residential property owners/tenants have up to 24 hours after snowfall stops to remove snow and ice. In addition, walkways to the entrances of any properties should be cleared in a timely fashion to allow emergency personnel and mail delivery carriers safe and clear access to the premises. Now is a great time to make sure that you have sturdy shovels, working snow blowers, snow shoveling agreements, and plenty of rock salt before the next snowfall
