As we all prepare for a winter event, we would like to remind the community of a couple important items.
1. Help us help you! Clearing 3 feet of snow in all direction around a fire hydrant saves us valuable time in the case of an emergency!
2. We ask that all community members who will be using the municipal parking lot located at the firehouse to please use Public Parking 1 along Clark Avenue before utilizing Public Parking 2. This allows our DPW employees easier access to snow removal. Furthermore, we ask that you leave the Members Only spots open for our firefighters to quickly and safely respond to an emergency. Lastly, please leave the Snow Removal spot clear to allow DPW a clear area to clear the snow to.
Thank you for your cooperation in advance.
Until further notice the DPW yard located at 50 Shore Road will be closed for yard waste and recycling drop off. Any questions please call the DPW office at 534-7600.
Effective Immediately: The collection facility the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson Department of Public Works uses for our recycling drop off no longer accept recycling in plastic bags. We ask that you please place your recycling in reusable containers for our crew to collect curbside. Your cooperation and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
