- 3rd : Green Waste/ Leaf Collection weather permitting
November Green Waste will only happen if the weather permits
** ALL Green Waste throughout the year will be collected from a container at the curb to be dumped in a compactor. Brush will be piled separately for collection by a different crew to be chipped. Be sure that limbs be no more than 10' long or small enough to be handled by one person. Small Green Waste loose at the curb AFTER spring clean-up will not be picked up. Please remember do not mix animal feces with your green waste. Green waste pickups will continue through November; leaf collection will start when enough leaves have fallen to get crews out and continue for as long as weather permits. Once we have gone by, we can not come back! Please do not put out your green waste material more than 48 hours ahead of the pick-up start date and do not put in the ditches or over drainge. When drainage gets blocked, it may cause flooding or washouts. We have received several complaints complaints about green waste out at the curb for several weeks before green waste pick-up start date. After several years of picking up green waste with out compactor we are still getting questions about loose green waster at the curb. The only time loose green waste is picked up is at spring clean-up time in April. Brush is always picked up loose piled at the curb, brush is defined as tree limbs 1" or larger in diameter. As always, you can bring green waste to the highway garage between pickup dates. Please put green waste grass clippings, leaves in metal or plastic reusable containers for pick-up. Please pile your brush neatly to save the crew time and be efficient.
Trash collections in the spring and fall will occur at two sites for your convenience, the Deerfield Fire House at 5476 Trenton Road and at the Deerfield Highway Garage at 6829 State Route 8. Trash may ALSO be collected throughout the year at the Highway Garage during regular business hours. Please call (315) 826-7014 to ensure that a crew member is available to assist you. There is still one trash collection date left this year (October 4th at the Highway Garage on State Route 8 from 8am-2pm). As a reminder to all that use the dumpsters at the highway garage, we welcome all town resident to use the site during our normal work hours, however, the town employees come in after a weekend off we find trailer loads of trash dumped in front of the doors marked with NO DUMPING AFTER HOURS signs on the doors. WIth that, they are finding trash in the green waste area and it is not an acceptable place for trash items.
Remember all culvert pipes in the right of way need a permit to be replaced or repaired; the Highway Dept will size the pipe and require specific backfill material to be installed over the pipe. If culvert pipes are installed without permits, we have the right to pull the pipes out. Please scall for the proper permits and information so this doesn't happen.
Winter weather is right around the corner so as a reminder, please do not park in the right of way, it makes plowing the roads very difficult. Do not plow snow across the roadway; you could be held responsible if it causes an accident.
Schools are back in session and buses are out once more, please remember to stop for school buses picking up our children everyday EVEN on a divided highway.
