Spring Clean-up Reminders

This Friday, March 30th, is the last day for you or your contractor to bring storm-related wood waste to the recycling yard at no charge; see the press release for important info. Also, please help keep Scarsdale clean: Residents are reminded that loose leaves and other yard waste are not permitted to be placed in piles on the Village roadways during this time of year. All yard waste must be placed in biodegradable paper bags along the curb for the normal weekly collection (2^nd garbage day). Call Public Works at 914-722-1150 for more information.

Village Board Meeting Update

The Village Board's Regular Meeting held on March 27, 2018, featured several important agenda items, including approval of contracts for Freightway Garage Repairs (p. 35) and HVAC Maintenance (p. 38). Also noteworthy, outgoing Trustees Deb Pekarek and Marc Samwick were honored for their dedicated years of service to the Village of Scarsdale. Civic duty requires a significant time commitment and personal sacrifice; volunteer if you hear the calling. Finally, residents are encouraged to review the upcoming meeting calendar.
