Highway Department

What does my Highway Department do?

  • Keep you safe:  During the winter, crews are out keeping the roads free of snow.  In the spring they work to keep the ditches clean to avoid flooding.  During summer & fall you can find them paving, mowing, & trimming brush to keep signs and roads up to par.
  • Road Maintenance:  Your highway department typically takes care of potholes, ditches, culverts, and bridges. They also clean, sweep, mow, plow, pave, and much more.
  • Liaisons:  They work with other government officials to keep your roads safe and determine regulations related to transportation, such as weight limits for trucks, and traffic rules. 
  • In an Emergency:  Rain or shine, day or night, Highway & DPW crews are ready when an emergency arises.  From flooding, to hurricanes, winter storms, and even a traffic accident, they are there to keep roads open and allow EMS, Police, and the Fire Department to get to those in need.
  • Overall, the goal of a highway department is to create and maintain a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation network to support economic development and improve the quality of life for residents.

What is household hazardous waste?

Household hazardous wastes are products that can be found in your home that can catch fire, react or explode under certain circumstances, be corrosive or toxic, and may be dangerous to human health. It is vital that you limit the usage of these products, as well as dispose of them correctly (not in the landfill) as an environmentally sustainable practice. To ensure the North Country disposes of its waste properly, the Development Authority of the North Country and the three counties collaborate on Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days. They are free open to all residential households. Businesses, schools, farms, municipalities, or conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) are excluded.
