Information on Brush & Bagged Leaf Pick-up Rules, Schedules and Quadrants
Due to insurance restrictions, the Town is not permitted to enter a private roadway. Therefore, brush and bagged leaves cannot be picked up on privately owned roadways. 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.

Brush and Bagged Leaf Pick-Up Rules
- DO have ALL brush & bagged leaves out to curbside by 7:00am the Monday of the week of your quadrant. (Leaves must be bagged in biodegradable bags only in order to be picked up. Leaves in plastic bags or left in a pile on the ground will not be picked up. Plastic bags cannot be recycled and will not compost in our mulch pit.)
