Highway Department - Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the town’s right-of-way located? This depends on what street you live on. Call the Highway Department and the Superintendent will tell you where the town's right-of-way is on your particular street but on most streets, the right-of-way is usually 30' from the center line.
Why isn’t my street plowed yet? The snowplow crews have routes that begin from the Highway garage to each neighborhood. Your street will be plowed according to where you are on the route. The main roads will be done on a priority basis.
If my mailbox is damaged by a Town of Wilton snowplow; how do I get it replaced? Attimes a mailbox will need to be replaced during the plowing season. Please be advised the Highway Department will not be responsible for repair or replacement of PLASTIC mailboxes and posts.The cold makes these mailboxes very brittle and they cannot withstand the snow force.The Highway Dept. will only repair or replace mailboxes that have a ROUND or 4X4 WOOD post, and a standard mailbox. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (518) 584-4588.
Does the Town have mulch for residents? Unfortunately, the Town Highway Department does not have the machinery for this service. At this time, this item cannot be budgeted.
When will the Highway Department pick-up my Hazardous Waste? The Town Highway does not pick up any items. Please do not place these items on the roadside. The Town of Wilton does arrange for a Hazardous Waste Day in some years and the residents are responsible for bringing those items to the specified drop location.
