Leaf Removal
The Department handles the collection and
disposal of leaves in the residential property.
The leaf season begins in mid October and
runs until early November. Residents are
instructed to pile their leaves on the edge
of their lawns, not in the ditches, after which
Village crews will pick them up.
No bags of any type are to be used.
To inquire more about leaf collection dates,
please call the Village office (315) 673-3112.
Snow Plowing
The Village officially begins its snow plowing
program when there is an accumulation of
snow on the roads or if icy conditions exist.
Once these conditions are present, streets
and intersections are salted and plowing of
Village streets begins usually after about
three inches of snow has fallen.
To insure that plowing can be satisfactorily
completed, vehicles are prohibited from
parking on Village streets overnight from
11:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. from
November 1st through May 1st.
In addition to streets and intersections,
Village sidewalks are also plowed by the
Highway Department.
The Village's goal is to make streets,
sidewalks and public parking lots accessible
as soon as possible during and after winter
storms. For more information on the snow
plowing program, please call the Village
office: (315) 673-3112.
