ATTENTION TRI-STATE PARKERS:

The Village of Brewster is aware of the streetlights that are out in the Tri-State lot that resulted from a tree that took down the wires during the most recent storm. The Village is working with NYSEG to get the lights turned back on as soon as possible. If you would like to be escorted down to the Tri-State Lot from the train station, you may call the Officer On Duty at 914-804-8442.

Please note the changes to the pick-up schedule for December 2023: The residential refuse pick-up will be moved from December 26th to December 27th.

Please note the changes to the January 2024 Residential Refuse Pick-Up: The January 2nd pick-up has been moved to January 3rd. There will be Christmas Tree Pick-Ups on the first three Fridays in January and normal refuse and recycling pick-up will resume on January 26th.

ATTENTION VILLAGE RESIDENTS,

The Village of Brewster Department of Public Works will be going through the Village on a weekly basis to collect unwanted leaves and brush. Hedge and tree trimmings should be tied in bundles no larger than three feet in length and 16 inches in diameter. Leaves that need to be picked up must be loose on the edge of the street but off of the sidewalk. Leaves will only be cleaned up if they are on the side of the street. After November 30th of each year, grass clippings and leaves shall be placed in open plastic containers or paper bags for collection. Do not intermingle grass clippings and leaves with other debris such as rocks, wood, metal, hard plastics, tree branches of any size, etc. This will damage the vacuum that cleans up the leaves and will delay collections. Wet leaves will not be collected. Tree stumps will not be collected.

Please review the Village Code: Chapter 205: Solid Waste for more information.
