Leaf Pickup Ends; Holiday Trash Schedule; Swearing-In Invite

From Mayor Ron Belmont

As the winter season approaches, I would like to clarify that leaf collection is in the final phase. December 20 th reflects the last date in which leaves can be left in piles. Once crews proceed through each neighborhood, any remaining leaves must be placed in brown bags and placed curbside for collection on the second garbage collection day of the week. There will be no further bulk pickups after crews have completed each neighborhood. Our Highway Department has been in the process of doing the final sweep of our municipal roadways this week. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as our highway crews complete their routes.

Members of the Jewish community will soon begin the celebration of Hanukkah. This holiday pays tribute to the resilient spirit of the Jewish people. The message of Hanukkah serves as an example to us all that, when we stand together, we can conquer any problem and overcome any setback.
It is my hope that the Festival of Lights offers comfort to all and encourages not only our nation, but our cities, towns and villages to draw together and celebrate the bonds of community.

Please make note of the following sanitation schedule change for the upcoming holidays: Town/Village offices will be closed on Christmas Day and New Years Day. During the week of each holiday, the Sanitation Department will be working on a holiday schedule.

For the week of 12/23/19 (Christmas), garbage and recycling normally collected on Wednesday, December 25 will be collected on Thursday, December 26. There will be no bulk trash collected on Wednesday, December 25. For the week of 12/30/19 (New Years), garbage and recycling normally collected on Wednesday, January 1 will be collected on Thursday, January 2nd. There will be no bulk trash collected on Wednesday, January 1st.

On January 1, 2020, at 3:30 PM, newly elected officials will be sworn in at Town Hall. All residents are invited to attend.

On behalf of the Town Board, I would like to take this time to wish all of you a peaceful and joyous holiday season. I would also like to thank our Town personnel for the commitment and dedication they exhibit on a daily basis. It is an honor to serve as your Mayor and the Town Board and I look forward to the coming year. We will work hard and continue to make Harrison a community of distinction. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2020!
