Information on Brush, Stumps & Bagged Leaf Pick-up Rules, Schedules and Quadrants
Due to insurance restrictions, the Town is not permitted to enter a private drive. Therefore, brush and bagged leaves cannot be picked up on privately owned drives. The brush and bagged leaves must be brought out to the end of the private drive (to the dedicated roadway) and all rules listed below as far as placement of the pile and bags must be followed.
As always, this year you are encouraged to compost your leaves. We recently received a letter from NYS Department of Environmental Conservation also encouraging the composting of all leaves. The letter further states that we cannot keep filling our landfills with yard waste such as leaves and grass clippings. It has now become a violation for some landfills to accept yard waste and it also takes up valuable space for waste that has no other recycling options.
