Village of Scarsdale Leaf Collection Program 2015

The Village of Scarsdale will collect leaves at the curb from October 13 through December 4th, 2015. Please keep all leaves for collection free of branches, grass clippings and other debris. Click here for a list of do's and don'ts for curbside leaf pickup.

The Though leaf pick-up service is available, the Village of Scarsdale is encouraging residents and local organizations to mulch mow their leaves on-site instead of piling them at the curb. Mulch mowing shreds the leaves into small pieces that can be used on lawns, plant beds (or gardens).

To help residents learn more about this practice, the Village has setup a live demo on October 25 at 10:30 am at Shaarei Tikvah to show how to mulch-mow leaves.

For questions about leaf pick- up call the Public Works Department at 914-722-1150.
