Ridgewood NJ, Garbage pickup will remain curbside, through July 10, 2020 with rear yard garbage pickup resuming on July 13, 2020. Please remember that curbside garbage must be placed in a covered barrel, to prevent access to the garbage by animals, keep the streets clean, and protect our employees. Please check your garbage pickup schedule in the Village calendar or by going onto the Village website (www.ridgewoodnj.net) and clicking on “My Services Lookup”.
The Recycling Center, located on East Glen Avenue, behind the Ridgewood Fire Headquarters, is open. Please place all recycling in the trunk of your vehicle (to maintain social distancing) so that our employees can take it out and place it into the proper roll-off container for you. All yardwaste must be in a container or in biodegradable paper bags and all twigs/branches must be bundled and tied.
The holiday is over for the garbage collectors who will have to work a normal day instead of getting to go home early
I say Bringing the cans to the curb has been working out pretty damn fine. But just some of my neighbors need to bring the cans back to the garage. Some are very lazy.
I’m going to continue to bring out to the curb.
We love bringing the cans to the curb. I
Don’t like anyone behind my home. I walk around naked.
Now you all know ware I hang my towel.
Some people are so lazy.
curbside pick up required less employees
Fewer. It’s fewer employees.
$20k in taxes, come get my cans. Has nothing to do about being lazy
The same lazy residents who like curbside are the ones that litter the town with their dumb lawn signs.
Nobody gives a shit if ‘Ridgewood music lives here’ or your kid is a ‘ridge reader’.
Part of the decline of Ridgewood.
We didn’t even used to allow the real estate for sale signs. (I can understand an open house, but an ‘under contract’ sign that remains for 5 months is pure commercial advertising for the broker and should not be allowed)
They should ban realtor signs in front of the house. It’s so tacky. This is not the 80s when people used to ride around to see what houses are for sale. Everything is online now.
Fewer employees with Sanitation. Move them to other departments that are short on staff.

Once a jobs service requirement is temporarily suspended the mindset

Feel like they are now underpaid …
once the original task is reinstated
We should resist these feel good decisions. Stinking garbage on the curb is just that …
As a senior with a long hilly driveway I am relieved to learn that rear-yard pickup will resume. It is not a question of laziness. Garbage cans are often consistently taken to the curb too early (should be after 5 PM–used to be 6 PM), then remain there for far too long after pickup (sometimes for days)–always the same people–and when empty, can blow into the street. The town does nothing.
