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
Village Manager

Dear residents?
That’s kinda creepy…..
I live on bellair and the crews did a great job in picking up all the leave on my block. I had no idea that the ridgewood picked up so many leaves.
how come other towns are out picking up leaves on a saturday and the villige is not. I do know in the past they did . I think it would be wize to work every saturday to beet the snow when it comes. just look what happend up state ny.
thank you

Attached to the e-mail message I received directly from the Village was a link to the song “Autumn Leaves.” Now that’s kinda creepy.

No, it’s very charming. The new village manager has a great personality.
I hope she “votes” for not changing the master plan. I hope she appreciates the importance of open space and so-called passive recreation.
I have no complaints so far….2 orderly collections on my street this fall.
to # 6 me too they are doing a great job, and lets all hope the snow comes in late dec or jan.
I love leaves.
Or Wednesday. Does that work for you?
Ugh.
the leaf program is no better and now maybe worse than past at least as Area B is concerned. None of the sceheduled pickups here have been met. I previously posted re: Downes Tree Service team going up Morningside weeks ago up to Jackson Terrace only to disappear, The Village today has sent out winter storm warnings for Wed and it will be very nasty along North Monroe unless the crews show up today (11/24 – a scheduled pickup date again ? for B) and tomorrow to clean up. The leaves today shoudl be nice and heavy after last nights rain and high winds.
