GREEN INITIATIVES

The Town Highway Department collects yard and brush debris once each month from April through October. Yard & brush waste is the “woody” natural material from your property including: cut pieces of trees, limbs and brush and yard and garden wastes.   This service is intended to provide homeowners an appropriate way to dispose of green waste, it is not intended to supplement or compete with private contractors.  The Town does not collect construction debris, dirt, rocks, sod, stumps or grass clippings.  

The collected waste is taken to the OCRRA facility in Jamesville where it is ground and mixed into mulch and compost for residents.  Each area will be picked up during the identified week of each month. See the 2012 Schedule for Yard & Brush Pickup.   For alphabetical listing of streets in a given area, access these links.      Area 1    Area 2    Area 3     Area 4

Leaves: The Town provides services to pickup fallen leaves.  This assists residents with appropriate disposal of the leaves, and keeps the leaves out of the storm water system.   The highway crews use vacumn trucks and sweepers to collect the leaves once the bulk of leaves has fallen.  They continue collecting until the piles are gone, or the snow flies!  Click here to view a fact sheet regarding collecting leaves in the Town.
