VILLAGE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS & SNOW REMOVAL
To provide you with the best service possible, the Department of Public Works (DPW) would like to remind everyone that your cooperation is needed during the winter months for proper plowing, salting and snow removal. If you have a driveway or an off street parking space, please use it during the winter months and especially during a snow or ice storm as vehicles parked on the street hinder plowing operations. Additionally, anything that you might have in the Village’s right-of-way, such as a basketball hoop should be moved and stored for the winter. The Village will not be responsible for damage to any items left in the Village’s right-of-way. Also if your vehicle is parked in the street and it prevents the snowplow from passing, the vehicle WILL be towed at the owner’s expense.
HOLIDAY RECYCLING GUIDE
Christmas Trees & Wreaths are recyclable, remove decorations, tinsel, lights, etc. and place at curbside and the Village DPW will pick up, there will be no set day for pick up.
DISCOUNT MOVIE TICKETS
Menands School PTA is once again selling Regal Cinema discount movie tickets. These VIP Super Saver movie tickets cost only $7.00 each, never expire and are accepted nationwide at Regal Cinemas, United Artist Theatres and Edwards Theatres.
