Coastal Shores Calls for Harsh Winter Weather
The Town of York DPW would like to remind residents of winter storm operations information and tips.
When snow starts falling, we start treating major roads with rock salt and de-icing liquids. Once there’s about 2 inches of snow fall, we start plowing. First, we focus on major roadways and connectors to move traffic along before heading into residential areas.
Winter Storm Tips
- Free sand is available for York residents! Bring a shovel and up to two, 5-gallon buckets at 115 Chases Pond Road and help yourself to free sand.
- As snow continues to pile up, please consider where you place your trash bin. Consider using a black or colored trash bag as white trash bags are difficult to see against the snow. Also, we recommend placing trash bags out in the morning to avoid attracting animals and bag destruction.
- If you are parking your car on the street, please park as close to the snowbank/curb as possible.
- York residents and visitors can sign up for our email newsletter to stay up to date on winter information, helpful tips, and events and alerts. Sign up below!

Sidewalk Regulations
The Town of York sidewalk snow removal ordinance requires business owners to remove snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their property 12 hours following a winter storm, and residential owners to clear snow and ice abutting their property 18 hours following the end of a storm or when the City finishes snow removal operations, whichever is later.
