Rye Brook Leaf Collection Update
The Rye Brook Fall Leaf Program is operating at a steady pace and residents are asked to follow guidelines to make it easier on town crews.
Rye Brook Superintendent of Public Works Michal J. Nowak announced that crews began working weekends to stay ahead of leaf piles. Crews will be working on Friday November 27, 2015 and Saturday November 28, 2015.
Nowak said in a statement:
“Proper placement of leaf piles continues to be a concern and problem throughout the Village. Many piles continue to be placed fully onto the roadway and create unsafe obstacles for two way traffic and pedestrians. Leaves must be placed in a tight row, a maximum of 4 feet wide, along the center of the curb line. Rows shall not extend further than 2 feet into any roadway. Placing leaves into the roadways creates an unsafe condition of those utilizing such roads. Wind rows increase pickup productivity and move equipment along quicker. Residents should notify their landscaper of such and comply as soon as possible with such request.”
Residents are asked not to blow leaves on to the center islands at cul-de-sacs.
