Senior Snow Removal Program

The City of Klamath Falls is offering senior citizen snow removal assistance this winter. Qualifying senior citizens who are residents of the City may request assistance in removal of snow from paved driveways and sidewalks at their homes.

Application

Seniors should apply ahead of the snow season as applications must be received, reviewed and approved before a crew will be dispatched to perform any services. Seniors wishing to apply may pick up an application at the Police Department located at 2501 Shasta Way. Applications (PDF) are accepted at any time throughout the winter.
