the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, With freezing temperatures and lingering snow making backyards treacherous, the Village of Ridgewood has issued an important update regarding sanitation services and holiday schedules. Whether you’re a commuter or a homeowner, here is everything you need to know for the week of February 10, 2026.
⚠️ Important: Move Your Trash to the Curb
To ensure the safety of our sanitation crews during the current cold snap, rear-yard collection is officially suspended until further notice.
What you need to do:
-
Place all trash and recycling containers at the curb (not in the street).
-
Limited space? If snowbanks are blocking your curb, please place your containers on your driveway apron.
-
When will it end? Residents will be notified via email, the My Ridgewood app, and the Village website as soon as it is safe to resume backyard pickup.

Lots of days off for the well paid employees
Do they also get groundhog day off
I hope so because I need another day off, just bring your garbage out to the end of your driveway. There should be no garbage pick up behind peoples homes bring it out to the least in front of your garage doors.
If you got a job at a private carter you could do curbside.. at 1/2 the pay, 1/2 the benefits, No fixed income retirement plan at a young age.
Well paid? Considering the average Ridgewood income I doubt it!
Very well compensated . You can’t be serious with your comparison. Its the same energy to empty a trash can in Ridgewood, Waldwick or Monroe NY.
