Sandy Watch: Leaf Bag Collection Suspension and Storm Cleanup

The town of Yorktown said Hurricane Sandy will bring heavy rains and high winds to the area through Tuesday. 

Kim Angliss-Gage, recycling coordinator for the town's Environmental Conservation Department, has issued tips for residents on storm cleanup which was posted on the town's website. 

The requests and tips include:

• Do not set leaf bags at curbside during this storm.

• The collection of Leaf Bags will be suspended in Sections 1, 6 & 7 this Monday, Oct. 29 and Tuesday, Oct. 30

• During the storm, if branches fall on your yard, in order for our crews to pick them up, branches must be cut to a max. of 4’ in length, bundled and tied with a strong cord. Once at curbside call this office so that we can add your address to our collection list. As a reminder, we do not pick up logs.
