Services we provide in Hackensack
Local conditions
Local conditions in Hackensack shape how we route crews and time dispatch.
As the Bergen County seat, Hackensack's downtown courthouse and municipal complex along Main Street get priority plowing attention that smaller Bergen towns don't have to coordinate around. The Hackensack River running through the city can create a shallow river-valley cold pocket that holds ice on bridge decks along Route 4 and Essex Street longer than the surrounding high ground. Bergen County's position between Hudson River moderation to the east and the colder Ramapo foothills to the west puts Hackensack in a middle-of-the-pack snowfall range for northern New Jersey.
We regularly service routes near NJ Route 4, NJ Route 17, Essex Street, Main Street, River Street.
