Leaf Collection Update
Updated Information on Leaves from Ridgewood DPW:
• Collection: We are still running three to four days behind. With the recent damage to the pusher catching up is going to be unachievable.
• Schedule: We are recommending a shift in the leaf schedule based on the following new dates:
o Area A: Dec. 4 to Dec. 10
o Area B: No change
o Area C: Dec. 11 to Dec. 17
o Area D: Dec. 18 to Dec. 23

So, the bulldozers go up and down the block pushing leaves and scraping up the roads.
They did that on Meadowbrook yesterday.
Why does the town use the $400,000 street sweeper that is being abused and breaking down?
Midland Park uses a pick-up truck with a special attachment to push leaves into a pile.
Dear 9.20. Great questions,this is not rocket science..seems there is no sensible backup plan.roads surfaces are weak and a patchwork affair,
bulldozers as sweepers are likely damaging every road they scrape..No common sense here,
Hohokus also uses brooms on pick up trucks….and follows up with leaf blowers
If they are behind every year, maybe the original schedule is unrealistic?
people this is not village leaf crews. this is out side contractor , They don’t use a street sweeper. they are slow and make a real mess. please have the village d p w crews do this next year, please, please. my god.What is the mayor and council and manager thinking of. This is not working up in my area of this town. we as the boss of the town the tax payer’s demand the top manager to reinstate the village crews to do this like they did in the past. they never had a problem , ever, ever, ever. I don’t under stand this thinking. this is not saving us shit. that is a bull shit story.
Hey,,,, thank you for the leaf pick up on emmett,rd . the men did a great job in picking up and cleaning my curb line.
from-32gb.
I wish they had been as conscientious and thorough on East Saddle River Road between Glen and Bingham. They left more behind then they picked up and made a big mess doing it. Now the street will be an icy, slippery mess once it freezes. There has to be a better solution!!!
Hey 5:20 how long have you lived on Emmet Rd? You should know its called Emmet Pl. You must be one of those DPW shrill that post here.
Actually just moved in, And yes I was wrong , but who cares, road, place, street, we on the block don’t care. we love this block. wow I’m sorry if we hurt your feeling’s on this , i will make a correction on this, happy.
next time we will say our block.
Huh today is going to be 65, degrees ,
