Ridgewood NJ, the Village of Ridgewood central business district was once again hit bad luck , the Village dedicated Columbus Day to Village restaurants by once again creating a pedestrian mall  . Unfortunately so far the heavens have conspired against the effort be releasing showers . While many like the idea of open air dinning coupled with a walkable downtown , some Village merchants grumble that the pedestrian mall takes away  from business eliminating the quick pick up by making it near impossible . The upside to  the uncooperative weather is that Columbus Day is a legal holiday in Ridgewood and parking is FREE.

the fly has learned recycling just ends up in the dump …

fly-on-wall

…the fly has learned that since the pandemic, the Village of Ridgewood suspended all recycling to all restaurants . The town is no longer picking up any recycling to these establishments.

All recycling is going to the dump. When you drop off recycling at the Recycling center or the recycling is picked up in front of your house, it’s now just a scam and goes to the dump.

Ridgewood is no longer making money on most recycled product, which is mostly cans, bottles etc. Everything going to the landfill as our regular garbage…
