VILLAGE LEAF REMOVAL
Dear Residents,
Just wanted to provide you with another update on how our leaf collection season is going.
We have picked up 13,933 cubic yards of leaves so far this season; in 2013 the total number was 35,967 cubic yards so we still have a bit to go.
Most of our resident comments still relate to the schedule; I am including the schedule below, and as a reminder – if we get to your area earlier than we have indicated, we will be back.
The number of resident complaints is down significantly year over year Our most significant number of complaints over the previous two seasons was that we left a mess and didn’t clean up. This was a valid resident complaint as we stopped using rakers the last two seasons; the rakers are back and we believe that it is making a huge difference. We are also getting some kudos on the level of communication and the quality of the work.
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.
Leaf Collection Schedule:
Area A Dec. 1-5
Area B Nov. 24-28, Dec. 11-17
Area C Dec. 8-12
Area D Nov. 20-26, Dec. 15-19
Best regards,
Roberta Sonenfeld
