Drop Off Leavened Products Friday at New Rochelle City Yard

New Rochelle residents preparing for Passover can dispose of their leavened products—or chometz—in front of the City Yard from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. Friday at 224 Main St.

Councilwoman Shari Rackman, D-District 6, said this is the first time New Rochelle has provided this service to its Jewish residents, but other communities have done it before.

Commissioner Alexander Tergis said a few garbage cans will be left just outside the City Yard. The garbage cans will be emptied and removed at 10:30 a.m. 

Friday is a non-garbage pickup day for the northern part of the city, and Passover begins at sundown Friday.
