Snow & Garbage Collection Update 1/29/2026

❄️ Snow & Garbage Collection Update ❄️

Our Department of Public Works continues to work hard on snow and ice removal throughout town. At the same time, crews are splitting their efforts to catch up on garbage collection after falling about two days behind due to the weather.

If your garbage pickup is running late, please be patient. Our crews will get to every area as quickly and safely as possible.

Ice and packed snow conditions have been especially challenging because of the extreme cold temperatures, which significantly reduce the effectiveness of road salt.

Thank you for your continued patience, understanding, and support as our DPW works through these difficult conditions and keeps Phillipsburg moving.
