Yard Waste
DPW collects yard waste from residences that already receive garbage and recycling collection services. Please note that yard waste consists of leaves, grass clippings, weeds, bulbs, twigs, brush, prunings, pine cones, and uprooted plants, as well as bundled branches and limbs. Household trash, renovation materials, rocks, bricks and dirt are not considered yard waste. Yard waste should be placed in brown paper yard waste bags and folded closed. Do not staple or tape bags. Place the properly bagged leaves, grass clippings and tied branches and limbs where you regularly leave your trash for pick up.
Helpful Tips
*Bags and bundles should weigh no more than 40 pounds. Bundles should be no more than four feet in length and tied with twine.
*No stumps, lumber, rocks, dirt or sod, landscaping material, demolition debris or plastic is accepted as yard waste.
*If loads are mixed with debris other than yard waste they will not be picked up.
*Yard waste is collected every Thursday.
*Missed yard waste collection should be reported to us immediately. We will resolve within 24 hours.
Yard Waste Bags
Yard waste bags are free to Village residents and are available for pick up at the DPW Office, 132 Samsondale Avenue, during working hours.
Tree Removal
Our Village homeowners often hire expensive arborists to decided whether a tree needs to be removed on their property. An alternative is to contact Cornell Cooperative Extension. If you bring them a sample of branches, they will evaluate your tree's condition for a small fee (approximately $7). Please contact the Extension for additional information.
