Because of a reduction in staffing for the Village of Sleepy Hollow, the following changes will remain in effect until further notice for Sleepy Hollow Manor. (To receive e-mails from SHMA with the following and other useful, timely information, be sure your membership has not lapsed.)

Garbage will only be picked up on Thursdays.

Recyclables will alternate Wednesdays. April 15th: only cans/plastic/glass will be picked up. April 22: only paper/cardboard. And so on.

There will be no further lawn/brush pickup until Monday, May 4th and will be every other week after that.

All bulk pick-ups will be on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month and will be by appointment only. To schedule a bulk pick-up call the Village Clerk – 366-5106 or 366-5113 by Tuesday afternoon for Thursday pick-up that week.

Bulk metal (refrigerators, washer/dryers, ACs, etc) pickup will be only on the 4th Thursday of each month, by appointment only. The next opportunity is Thursday April 23rd. Current Village code already requires that you get a permit for disposal of all refrigerators, dryers, dishwashers, etc. The permit comes in the form of a sticker you attach to the object

NO USE OF LEAFBLOWERS is permitted. The Village wishes to minimize aeration of any kind during these contagious times. "Having lawns completely cleared of leaves is not essential.  What is essential is that we maintain as healthy an environment as possible. Please, please adhere to this new rule for the health and safety of our community."

Landscapers and gardeners may only conduct maintenance, not beautification. For questions about these parameters and definitions, please contact the Village. (Number above.) All hired landscapers/gardeners must continue to have a permit from the Village.

Stay safe.

Join your neighbors and friends for this fun, warmhearted annual tradition. Children and adults, don your scariest costumes, bake your scariest (looking, not tasting) desserts, and gather at Kingsland and Hemlock at 12:30pm this Saturday, October 26th. The Horseman chases Ichabod at 1:00pm and leads us all to 31 Hemlock for food, drink, games, and entertainment.

Prizes awarded to best kids' costumes (everyone's a winner), best adult costume (NOT everyone is a winner), and best decorated house (wins a gift certificate to a Sleepy Hollow restaurant!). 

The 4th of July is just two weeks away!

The much-loved annual PMIA/SHMA Parade will begin at 10am with a procession along Bellwood Avenue (gather at the corner of Bellwood and Highland), followed by several hours of DJ entertainment, games, hot dogs, drinks, ices, and cake at Peabody field.

Please wear costumes and bring desserts!

The Steering Committee for the Sleepy Hollow Comprehensive Plan and Waterfront Plan have been working with consultants throughout the summer to advance both plans. Now that fall is arriving, they have several updates to announce and new opportunities to provide public input. They encourage ALL MEMBERS of the community to participate and to spread the word about these opportunities to your friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

The Comprehensive Plan and Waterfront Plan Workshop takes place Tuesday, October 2nd at 7-9pm at the James Galgano Senior Center, 55 Elm Street.

Many of you have asked what can be done to make Fremont Pond a healthier body of water. Friends of Fremont pond has issued this one-page letter giving you an update on the work they've been doing and offering easy tips on what you can do on your own property to help. (Because the runoff from our lawns winds up in the pond and in the Pocantico River!)
Thanks so much to this hardworking consortium of neighbors and local officials!
