GREETINGS FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Summer Days
With the summer here, we would like to remind you that your garbage contractor is currently picking up grass and garden debris curbside on Wednesdays through November. It must be placed in barrels no larger than 30 gallons and placed at the curb prior to 7:00 AM. NO PLASTIC BAGS. In March we were hit with a bad storm that took down trees and branches all over town. As a service to the residents of Cresskill we picked up brush at the curb. Currently your garbage contractor is picking up brush along with the grass and garden debris. Branches must be less than 4 feet in length, tied and bundled, and placed at the curb. NO PLASTIC BAGS or LOOSE BRANCHES. Residents may also bring their grass, garden debris and branches to the DPW yard. NO PLASTIC BAGS. The yard is located at 325 Piermont Rd. and is open Monday – Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM and Saturdays, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.
We would also like to remind you that white goods or metal are picked up the first Friday of every month. This pickup is by appointment only. You must call the DPW at 201-567-2184 to let us know that you will be putting white goods or metal out for collection. White goods include all household appliances including air conditioners and hot water heaters. Refrigerator doors must be removed before placing at the curb. When installing a hot water heater you must obtain a plumbing permit. A new hot water heater must be inspected before the old one will be collected.
Permits must also be obtained, from the Borough Clerk, before any work is started on driveways.
