Furthermore, our carriers route via NJ to avoid NYC bridge tolls and congestion when possible. Pickup access is generally good given the borough’s suburban character.
Staten Island Climate Considerations
Staten Island shares NYC’s climate including winter snow. Specifically, December through March can deliver substantial storms. We monitor conditions and adjust schedules when safety requires.
