Ridgewood NJ, Village crews started collecting leaves placed along the curbline in the street beginning October 22,2018 and will continue through December 21st weather permitting. Designated yard waste area’s A-D will be used for leaf removal purposes .
The town has been accused of screwing up the leaf pick up across the board over the last 5 years, but there has been progress made the last couple of years in expediting the process . The Village can not control the weather and many remember , “Christmas trees frozen into huge uncollected leaf piles. Like mountains on the moon..wet leaves frozen into the streets”
Well I know is has a contractor the system is a pain in the ass. The village should go back to the way they used to pick up leaves. Any contractor you talk to that works in the village will tell you the same thing. I really feel sorry for poor old residence that is receiving summonses . The village should be embarrassed about them selves for doing that. We can understand at the end that there’s a cut off date, but you don’t give out Violations the first week of leaf season, my God. And they are actually paying someone to write summonses and then go to court . really, this is cost savings I don’t think so. This nonsense started a few years ago.
Our leaves picked up a few days late…but they did a good job…
Yes the crews always did a great Job in picking up my leaves for the past 38 years. I live up on Richards Road we never had a problem. But in the past few years we have had a few problems because the town from what I read on the website my section has been subsidized out to a private contractor, for what reasons I don’t now. And I don’t know if the contractor is doing any other sections in the village. They are OK, but they are not a town employees That always get an exceptional job. From what I see a private contractor lacks the experience , I guess it will take some time for them to learn the routine. Anyway thank you.
In the village stop the ticket Nazi for now. Maybe continue with that ticket Blitzing in January. Thanks Village residents and taxpayers I’m sure you will agree.
Good lord love the sentence structure and spelling. You Union boys have bigger problems than having your jobs farmed out. Stop bitching under the guise of being a resident and get back to work. What little you have will be completely gone in a few years anyway.
The Russians are coming.
Winter is coming . Right , ? ! .
