Ridgewood NJ, according to the Village Manager Heather A. Mailander , there are several ways to have your storm debris disposed of, which are as follows:

*Put out storm debris with your regular yard waste pickup.

*Put storm debris into the planting strip of your property (between the sidewalk and curb) or at the edge of your property, if you do not have sidewalks or curbs.  Our yard waste crews will pick up your storm debris, as time allows.

*Bring your storm debris to the Lakeview Compost Center (at the end of Lakeview Drive) from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. You will have to show your driver’s license to confirm you are a Ridgewood resident.

*Do NOT bag storm debris, unless it is in biodegradable paper bags.

*Please do NOT bring your storm debris to the Recycling Center at this time, due to the volume.

In addition, please observe the following guidelines to avoid further confusion, damage or injury:

*Please be patient if you are putting your yard waste out into the planting strip.

*Ensure debris is placed in area clear of overhead power/cable lines as well as low hanging tree limbs.

*Do not place debris near gas or water valves, water meters, fire hydrants, fencing, mailboxes, etc.

*Do not call to request that trucks alter their scheduled routes; ALL areas will be picked up.

*Get debris out for pick up as promptly as possible.  If you miss the first pass, do not be concerned – our crews will continue to pick up storm debris for the next couple of weeks, as time allows.

*Please note that different types of debris may be picked up at different times.
