Snow removal in Anchorage: FAQ
The Municipality's winter maintenance page says snow removal from driveways and mailboxes is the property owner's responsibility, and driveway snow cannot be shoveled or plowed into the street right-of-way or onto sidewalks (Municipal Code 24.80.090).
As general advice, break up and remove slush before it refreezes, and use sand or gravel for traction on driveways and steps when temperatures drop again.
Through the app, never in cash. A temporary hold is placed when someone accepts, and the charge goes through after you rate the finished job or 12 hours after completion.
