    I was interested in the cleanup of debris program and although I did call DWP and leave my name to be put on the list, I did want to also leave my name and email info. I am a senior and bringing the debris curbside without having to bundle it would be wonderful. thank you

    How true this is! We were annoyed with the snow removal in Cherry Hill. The street was some what cleared all the way up to our car then dumped right in front of it (1/2 a blocks worth dumped in front of our house in front of our car). Then from the other direction the same thing. We were burried from both directions! There were other cars that were out on the street yet ours was the only one they plowed in. Luckily we have a snow blower but with the amount of snow dumped on us it took an entire day to get our car out. Aside of that, some salt on the roads would have been nice. We are having a major problem with ice on our street. With what this town charges for taxes you would think you could at least get decent snow removal.
