Backyard collection of garbage will resume on March 20th, weather permitting. All vehicles must be removed from the roadways and overnight parking of vehicles on the streets will not be permitted on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights, which will be strictly enforced.

Preparing for the Winter Storm PSE&G is preparing for the approaching storm predicted to bring heavy snow and strong winds to the Northeast on Tuesday. Snow and high winds can bring down trees and power lines. We take every storm with the potential for outages seriously, and we have additional personnel and auxiliary equipment ready. We also have extra personnel to respond as quickly as possible to emergency requests. Both PSE&G's call centers and appliance service department are prepared to respond to customer "no heat" calls as temperatures remain low during the next several days. Stay connected:
