Speaking of nonsense, isn’t about time the village fixes the leaf collection problem….? I drove to the Y tonight and it was laughable trying to sneak around piles before the driver on the other side of the road tried to take the middle of the road before me. Maybe I don’t know my ass from my elbow but why can’t we buy 2 of those leaf trucks with the vacuum hoses attached to the back and suck the leaves up all day long ? There has to be a better way….
…..We have met the enemy to the village pocketbooks and he is US. In summary ,a village still out of control on spending and fees/taxation and rule harassment..leaves are a complete Joke in Somerville Walthery zone. But two weeks back ticket hacks out 2weeks ahead of the planned SCHEDULED missing VOR leaf lifters..they can be late ,but we can’t lay a leaf in the street..Tyranny…
The Village’s Leaf Collection Program will begin on October 23rd
All residents have received a yellow postcard with the leaf collection program requirements. The leaf collection areas are based on yardwaste areas (A-D), with certain exceptions listed for Area D, during leaf season only. All areas will have three collection times.
Leaves are to be placed along the curbline, in the street, only during the leaf placement dates listed for your area on the postcard. You may not place leaves into the street after the last leaf placement date for your area, until the next round of leaf placement dates for your area. If you employ a landscaper, please communicate your leaf placement dates to them. Please be aware that leaves placed in the street, after the street is complete, may result in a summons being issued.
No brush will be collected during leaf season. In addition, do not place trash, stones, branches, twigs or other yardwaste into the leaf piles.
To locate your area for yardwaste collection, go to the Village website www.ridgewoodnj.net, click on My Village Services Lookup and enter your address to find your respective area.
If you have any questions regarding the leaf collection program, call the Street Division at 201-670-5585.

THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
Village refrigerators post-Thanksgiving may tell a different story, but on village streets, there are fewer leftovers.
Leftover leaves, that is.
Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld has reported receiving positive resident input, and fewer complaints, thanks to Ridgewood’s new “no leaf left behind” program. The initiative includes the reintroduction of rakers and the outsourcing of pickups in the leafiest area of Ridgewood.
The ongoing effort is in response to residents’ chief complaint with village leaf pickup in past years: a mess of leaves left on the street.
Now, officials said, the village needs residents to help with the initiative, since many leaves have yet to fall.
So far this year, 13,933 cubic yards of leaves have been picked up. In 2013, the total number was 35,967 cubic yards, according to a Nov. 21 village email blast sent out by Sonenfeld.
“Most of our resident comments still relate to the schedule… As a reminder – if we get to your area earlier than we have indicated, we will be back,” she said. “The fact that the season is running better also has to do with each of you; following guidelines on what can be in the piles, as well as keeping the streets open so that we can work, makes us all more effective.”
