Morristown Explains Who Cleans Up Storm Debris, What Residents Need To Do

Morristown is spelling out who handles storm debris cleanup after the recent severe weather: JCP&L clears tree limbs tangled in power lines, the town’s DPW handles public rights-of-way, and homeowners are on the hook for debris on private property. Branches under 4 inches in diameter can go to the curb for collection, but bigger logs are the owner’s responsibility to dispose of. With more storms and flood watches expected Thursday and Friday, officials are also reminding residents to stay 30 feet from downed power lines and keep generators well outside the home.
