2015 LEAF PICK UP SCHEDULE – ENFORCEMENT OF SCHEDULE
NOTICE CONCERNING LEAF REMOVAL FOR 2015
Last year the Village of Ridgewood implemented a pilot program to outsource a portion of our leaf removal service. After reviewing and evaluating input that was provided by you regarding the success of this change, we again will be using the services of a third party contractor in Area B. The combined effort of the Village staff and this contractor will enforce our continuing commitment to improve your Village services.
In accordance with last years’ schedule, residents in Area B will remain the same with the exception of the following streets which will now be considered “Area D” for leaf season only.
Beechwood Rd. Unadilla Rd.
Carlton Terr. Valley View Ave.
Elm Ct. Waiku Rd.
Kemah Rd. Wastena Terr.
N. Monroe St. (house #108 – 412) Windsor Terr.
Palmer Ct. Woodland Ave. (house #116 – #223)
Sheridan Terr.
2015 DATES for collection are as follows:
Area A Area B Area C Area D
Oct. 19 – 22 Oct. 21 – 27 Oct. 23 – 28 Oct. 29 – Nov. 4
Nov. 5 – 10 Nov. 9 – 13 Nov. 12 – 18 Nov. 19 – 25
Nov. 30 – Dec. 3 Nov. 30 – Dec. 4 Dec. 7 – 11 Dec. 14 – 18
Dec. 14 – 18
Leaves must be placed directly in the street no more than 7 days prior to your scheduled pick up date. Please have your leaves in the street on the first day scheduled for collection. If you employ the services of a landscaper communicate these dates to them. No brush will be collected during leaf season. You may continue to bring leaves as well as brush to the Recycling Center. The hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Leaves can also be placed in paper biodegradable bags. Bags will be available at the Recycling Center on a first come, first serve basis. When using bags please place them on the curb area and they will be collected separately.
The most vocal comment heard from residents last year was on properties who did not comply with the schedule. Therefore enforcement will be vital to the Village’s success to improve this service. An enforcement agent NOW ISSUING SUMMONS to those that violate these guidelines.
As weather is a key component to this operation, if changes become necessary it will be posted on the Village of Ridgewood website. In addition you are encouraged to sign up for e-mail notifications via the Village website and to share this information with your neighbors. As a reminder, use caution when our leaf removal crews are on your block. When possible please take an alternate route to ensure the safety of all. Should you have any questions, please call the Street Division at (201) 670-5585.
Our motto is – “Leave” no leaf behind!
Thank you for your continued cooperation.
The first collection for area A was too early. The days wre week of Oct. 19. The leaves were still all on the trees!
I am afraid the new schedule will leave residents in area A a day late and a dollar short; last pick up will be too early.
Always someone to bitch and moan, seems to be a lost cause. They did the Hawes school area yesterday and did a good job.
Maybe area A didn’t come out to vote for the 3 Amigos during the last election.
Last year and for the past 40 years schedule A started last week of Oct.
Using the phrase bitch and moan any time someone complains is just plain stupid. Let me know your name and address and I will invite you to rake may leaves to curb. So you will see for yourself. .
I am not complaining about the job they do; just that there is no job to be done,
Upshot; the village manager is a failure. She makes changes just to make changes and the changes make the town worse.
So how many agree with me?
the crews will be back ,
2:50
Many agree with you. First order of business in July will be to get rid of her.
Following end of season, The Ridgewood Blog will OPRA a list of those who received summonses and print same, just as our staff did with respect to the water emergency summonses (or lack thereof).
