DPW Announces Village Spring Clean-Up
Once again, the Village Department of Public Works is announcing their Spring Clean-Up.
It all happens in a 2 week span - Monday, April 15th through Friday, April 26th.
This is an opportunity for Villagers who are in the process of doing the usual Spring cleaning of their yards to put their brush and leaves curbside (after Wednesday, April 10th), so that the DPW trucks can conveniently pick them up and take them away from your yard.
The April 10th date is established so that another Springtime activity of the DPW, street sweeping, can take place efficiently along the curbs by your house.
As the image on the left says, please separate brush from leaves. And please do not place anything curbside that is over 6 inches in diameter or over 6 feet in length.
Pickup will be made one time only, on each street.
