The work crews will remove snow only during daylight hours from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., responding to calls in the order they are received. The group will service as many residents as possible each day. There are no guaranteed times when the crews will arrive at a residence. The Department of Corrections will supply the needed equipment. The program does not supply salt or ice-melting chemicals, but crews will dispense them if supplied by residents. Contact and conversation between the inmates and the public is prohibited. So are gratuities and gifts or money, food, drink or any other item. Contact the Camden County Division of Emergency Management at (856) 783-4808 ext. 5060, from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. to ask for service. Calls will not be taken until after the snow stops.
