Ridgewood NJ, its that time of year again, the panic has already begone to set in the annual leave pick up begins October 28th. This years leaf season begins October 28th and ends December 20th. Leaves must be placed curbside only on the dates listed in your area.
The key ingredients of the season are an overabundance of leaves, uncooperative weather, overworked and under-loved Ridgewood crews and of coarse enough summonses issued to make your head spin.
You may continue to bring leaves as well as brush to the Recycling Center. The hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Leaves can also be placed in paper biodegradable bags. Bags are available at the Recycling Center on a first-come, first-serve basis. When using bags please place them on the curb area and they will be collected separately.
As the weather is a key component to this operation if changes become necessary it will be posted on the Village of Ridgewood website.

Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood public library suggest to get ready for Halloween with the master of horror, H.P. Lovecraft. All of his texts are available online for free.
https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/
H. P. Lovecraft ( Howard Phillips Lovecraft) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. He was virtually unknown and published only in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, but he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life. Among his most celebrated tales are “The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Shadow over Innsmouth”, both canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos. Lovecraft was never able to support himself from earnings as author and editor. He saw commercial success increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lacked the confidence and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progressively strained circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was completely spent by the time that he died at age 46.
