Fredericton manages a City Snow Storage Facility off of Wallace Avenue. This is a designated place where city crews, private companies, and contractors can dump the snow cleared from roads, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots throughout the city.
There is a registration fee of $300 for each company hauling to the snow storage facility, as well as a $100 per truck fee for each truck that is registered to haul snow. These fees cover the costs that the City of Fredericton incurs to maintain the snow storage facility; ensuring it is acceptable to adjacent property owners and meets all environmental regulations.
Snow Storage Guidelines:
- The snow storage facility is divided in two by a berm.
- Contractors dump furthest away from entrance.
- City crews dump closest to entrance.
- Contractors are responsible to arrange for the pushing back of ALL snow they dump.
- Snow should be pushed in a northerly direction away from the river ONLY.
- Do NOT push snow to the west into the adjacent stream/brook.
- Dump only in designated areas.
- Contractors are responsible for pushing back their own snow immediately after dumping.
- No banging of tail gates due to noise problems with the surrounding residents.
- Keep speed down on Wallace Avenue and haul road into the storage facility.
- Empty trucks yield to loaded trucks.
- Registration Permits are to be displayed in a visible place at all times.
- The snow storage facility is policed by city forces on a regular basis. Any violation of the above rules will lead to dumping privileges being withdrawn.
