Adopt a Storm Drain Campaign
West Milford has over 4,000 storm drains/catch basins across the Town
Almost all of them feed into local streams and lakes
Keeping them free of leaves, debris, and snow/ice is absolutely crucial
Clear storm drains help to reduce road debris and sediments from settling
into our lakes and streams
YOU CAN HELP KEEP WEST MILFORD PRISTINE
- It’s simple: Volunteer to keep an eye on a storm drain near your home
- Always mindful of traffic, clear leaves and debris from the surface of the drain when needed
- In winter, remove snow and ice from the area around the drain
- Never attempt to lift a storm grate or enter a catch basin
- If a storm drain is backing up, notify the West Milford DPW at 973-728-2850
- That’s it! No sign-up, no paperwork. Just another way of keeping West Milford beautiful
- Tell your neighbors about the “Adopt a Storm Drain” program. Spread the word. It’s a town wide campaign for a cleaner environment.
