Street Department

Ice and Snow Removal

During periods of ice and snowstorms five dump trucks equipped with snow plows and salt spreaders are used to clear the roads. The department maintains a materials storage yard with a stockpile of approximately 800-1,000 tons of salt each year. All personnel are responsible for assisting in the operation of these trucks for the duration of these storms.

Litter Removal

The removal of litter on the major right of ways is accomplished through the use of inmates from the Rutherford County Workhouse and supervised by our field personnel year round.
