October Newsletter 2025
Dear Residents,
What a great fall so far!
Fall cleanup is just getting started as the leaves begin to fall. As in the past, please accumulate leaves to be picked up between the sidewalk and the curb. Do not place leaves in the street, as rain and leaves are difficult to pick up and can clog our catch basins.
As a resident, you are welcome to haul branches or lawn refuse to the DPW garage refuse area. Please pay attention to the signs indicating where to dump specific yard materials.
Blight areas in town are beginning to improve, with stricter enforcement continuing.
Trick-or-Treat and the Chamber Trunk-or-Treat hours are posted below.
Have a great fall!
Sincerely,
Michael LePage
Village President

Leaf Pickup
We kindly ask that you place your leaves on the grass between the curb and the sidewalk. This helps us collect leaves during wet conditions and protects our storm sewers.
Leaf pickup will begin on Monday, October 6th, and will continue on Mondays and Thursdays through November 24th, weather permitting. Please have your leaves out by 7:00 AM on the day of pickup, and ensure that only leaves are placed in the piles.
For everyone's safety, please remember that if you can't see the operator of the leaf machine, they can't see you. Thank you for your cooperation!
