FALL CLEANUP
The Village of
Lowville Department of Public Works would like to announce that it will
again be conducting Fall Clean-Up beginning October 18, 2021. During
this period the DPW crews will be picking up tree limbs, brush, leaves, and
general yard debris that is placed at curbside.
Village residents
are reminded that the Village now has a site located out front of the
Wastewater Treatment Plant on East State Street, where such yard debris can
be transported to in your own vehicle. The site is located at the Village
Wastewater Treatment facility on East State St. and is open from 7am to
3:30pm Monday-Friday until it snows. ONLY Village
residents will be allowed access to the site. The Village is
only able to accept branches or trees that are less than 3 inches in
diameter. No stumps will be accepted.
Residents are
also reminded that all piles of limbs, debris, leaves, brush, etc. to be
picked up at the curb must be kept individually sorted. Any piles found to
be mixed together will not be picked up by Village
crews. Please note that only reasonably sized brush piles will be picked up
by village crews. Large piles resulting from the removal of
trees, shrubbery and hedgerows are
the responsibility of the property owner. Residents must make
private arrangements to have these types of wastes removed from their
property.
The Department
would like to additionally remind residents that it is illegal to
pile brush, limbs, debris, and leaves beyond the curb line of the street,
in any ditch line, or in any part of the street itself. Residents may be
fined for placing such items in the streets; this poses a serious safety
hazard to motorists and pedestrians as well as
acting to plug up the drainage facilities during rainstorms. The DPW wishes
to thank you in advance for your full cooperation in this matter. It is only
through your cooperation that we can continue these services.
