REMINDERS
Village Crews are asking all residents for their assistance for the Leaf Collection program to be successful.
On RECYCLING and BULK days please place containers on your property and not directly in the street.
When possible please DO NOT PARK CARS IN THE STREET on scheduled leaf collection dates so that piles can effectively be pushed and picked up safely.
A reminder that leaves are to be placed directly in the street no more than 7 days prior to your collection date.
No leaves are to be placed within 10 feet from any catch basin. Updates will be posted when necessary.
Leaf Bags Now Available for Residents – 10 Free Bags per Household
Paper biodegradable leaf bags are available for pick up at:
Village Hall, The Stable and the Recycling Center (behind Fire Headquarters, 201 E. Glen Ave.)
There is a limit of 10 bags per household while supplies last. All bags should be placed directly in the street on your scheduled collection date. Bags will NOT be collected off the curb.
Reminder – When possible please DO NOT PARK CARS on the street or near piles during your scheduled collection dates.
to mr mayor ,
what happend to all the workers in the road crew dept. some one said to me that they are down to 7 workers. how do we expect them to get all the work done that needs to be done with 7 workers, when in the past they a lot more. and yet did any one,s tax,s go down . well no ,no did.
My taxes went down.
If your taxes went down, someone else’s went up. Simple ‘shifting of the burden’.
The leaves still don’t get picked up on even close to reasonable schedule.
Despite being ‘on the village calender’ the street department MISSED area B COMPLETELY the weeks of October 8 and 16th despite the posted schedule. We got picked up once and the whole area looks like crap.
Maybe we should hire private contractors (just like the snow removal) . They seem to do a very good job.
We would not have the massive piles if those in charge didn’t skimp on the manpower and did the job when the piles were smaller.
The large piles, used as lame excuses, are there because the street department MISSED the scheduled removal. Since they cant blame superstorm sandy or the October storm they try to bluff the residents with these big piles that are their own creation. A tree has the same amount of leaves every year. In fact since we have FEWER trees due to the hurricane, leaf removal SHOULD have been easier.
Is the council listening?
