Tarrytown Lakes Leaves

Fall Leaf Collection

At this time, although the leaves dropped very late, and very quickly, every street in the Village has had their leaves picked up at least once. We recommend everyone check the leaf collection schedule:  https://www.tarrytownny.gov/home/news/2021-fall-leaf-collection-schedule

Homeowners and people with landscapers should get your leaves out to the curb prior to the scheduled leaf collection on your street. Leaf collection will continue into December, and should finish by the holidays, and leaf pile collections will officially end by December 31, 2021.  After that, any remaining leaves should be placed in compostable paper bags for regular weekly organic waste collection.
